O Rly?

Speaking of Xi Jinping, the Shanghai party boss named today as Hu Jintao's apparent successor, the BBC made an odd statement. Xi is married to Peng Liyuan, who is a popular folk singer with national fame. The BBC reporter showed people Xi's picture and asked "Who is this man?" and Peng's picture, asking "Who is this woman?" Far more people, even in Shanghai, could identify her.

But I don't think this statement is quite what they meant to say: He's not even the most famous man in his own family.
