Reaction poured in worldwide.
@stevelee (Beijing): soon any press conference/speech made by a head of state will require the removal of all footwear post shoe bomber us airports @jonmasters posted from Cambridge, U.K. itself.
@jonmasters (Cambridge): What's more shocking - that a shoe was thrown at a human rights violating Chinese dictator or that the audience blame the protester?@patr1ck tweeted this from Chinatown in San Francisco:
@patr1ck (San Francisco, Calif.): Shoe throwing is, by far, my favourite new form of terrorism.At one point, @davesgonechina suggested the YouTube video of the incident (http://tinyurl.com/acrbpf) was blocked.
@davesgonechina (China): Stupid that they're blocking the shoe throwing video... Wen handles it well, audience applauds in support. Shoe thrower loses.He told @breakingtweets that the video has since returned.
