China: Who is David Cameron?

There were articles yesterday flying around claiming that most Chinese people aren't even aware of who David Cameron is, people were responding with 'Churchill' when asked who is the British PM. Today he seems to be pussyfooting around the issue of human rights in China, after his visit in 2007 where it seemed that was all he banged on about, it seems he's changed his tune. His carefully calculated speech will state: "The rise in economic freedom in China has been hugely beneficial to China and to the world. I hope in time this will lead to a greater political opening because I am convinced that the best guarantor of prosperity and stability is for economic and political progress to go in step together." Which translates simply to "Hello China, our economy is in ruins and we are getting desperate. Please trade with us?". Although not expressing it in such terms, all of the British press are aware and explaining the real motives behind his falsely advertising speech. As English is a language commonly spoken within China, I am more than certain that those intelligent and academic folk with whom Cameron is speaking with will be able to get their hands on some form of British website or newspaper which explains Cameron's real motives (obvious economic trade issues and worries of them becoming a super power to rival the US) and explain the truth behind his riddles of pro- British politics. Why would China aspire to be like Cameron and the mess behind him that is Britain?
