Here’s a slightly odd bit of news from Wednesday’s testy EU-China summit:
In a gentle jab, [European Commission President Jose Manuel] Barroso told [Chinese Prime Minister] Wen Jiabao that “with great power comes great responsibility.”
This was all to do with China’s currency, but will anyone tell Wen that his European friend was quoting from a famous panel in one of the early Spiderman comics?
And, while we’re on the topic, did Barroso mean to imply that China exists in a fantasy world? Or that Wen makes life more exciting? Marvels never cease…
