Spotted US Ambassador Flees Beijing "Jasmine" Protest

What an idiot! Or is he just ginning up things for a US-campaign?

"US ambassador Jon Huntsman was present at the Jasmine non-Revolution in Beijing. A video has now surfaced of him standing right outside McDonald's on Wangfujing, the location of the would-be protests, with a pair of shades and a leather jacket sporting the US flag.

In the 1:30" clip (see video after the jump), a Chinese man in the crowd calls out to him, "Hey Mr Ambassador, what are you doing here?"

Huntsman responds, "I'm just here to look around."

The Chinese man asks, "You want to see China in chaos, don't you?"

"No, I don't," came the reply.

The Chinese man then turns around to everyone in the crowd and starts telling them that he is the US Ambassador, at which point Huntsman realises, uh oh, I'd better get myself out of here. Huntsman is then seen shuffling away, with his entourage in tow.

The video then ends with the exclamations in angry red speech bubbles, "Yes, China has many problems! Reform, livelihoods, morality, faith -- our problems are many! But we don't want to be another Iraq! We don't want to be another Tunisia! Nor another Egypt! If the nation should descend into chaos, will the US and these "reformers" put food on the table for our 1.3 billion people? Don't f*cking mess with it! Don't f*cking mess with it! Don't f*cking mess with it!"
