CAMBRIDGE, England (AP) — A protester hurled abuse and then a shoe at China’s prime minister Monday while he delivered a speech on the global economy at Cambridge University at the end of his trip to Britain. The protester leapt up from his seat near the back of a crowded auditorium, blew a whistle and yelled that Prime Minister Wen Jiabao was a “dictator” before throwing the shoe toward the stage. “How can this university prostitute itself with this dictator here? How can you listen … to him unchallenged,” the man shouted.
