Kevin Rudd, new australia prime minister

dear vivi, yesterday, a new PM of australia was elected. Kevin Rudd. i heard he is the first western leader who can speak chinese. i checked his profile. he studied chinese when he is in the university. i suppose chinese will be more popular. so keep doing it. you are on the right track.
by the way, he is one who oppose the iraq war and his election could change the political and foreign policy of australia. australia troops will probably leave iraq war in few time.
Rudd studied at the Australian National University in Canberra, residing at Burgmann College, and graduated with First Class Honours in Arts (Asian Studies). He majored in Chinese language and Chinese history, and is proficient in Mandarin. Rudd gave himself a Chinese name (Chinese: 陸克文; pinyin: Lù Kèwén; Simplified Chinese: 陆克文)[7] when he was studying in university. During his studies, Rudd cleaned the house of political commentator Laurie Oakes to earn money.
