Wendi Deng: "Smackdown Sister"

Much like Paco Wendi also does not see size or fear danger when she sees someone being threatened...

The Yale University business school graduate, yoga devotee and former News Corp employee reacted faster than anyone else seated around Murdoch, including his son James, when the tense questioning by a British parliamentary panel was interrupted by a man throwing a shaving-cream pie at her 80-year-old husband.

She sprang from her seat behind her husband to smack the assailant, in a scene witnessed by millions around the world watching television coverage on Tuesday of the latest developments in the News of the World telephone hacking scandal.[..]

Her actions have even generated a new online nickname for her in China -- "Smack down sister".

"Her reactions were super-fast! She walks away as the only hero," wrote Zhang Xin.

"When you marry, you should marry a Chinese woman. In times of danger, she will act," added Loulan Loulan.(Reuters)

That last quote is a winner. Makes me wonder if all this world needs is a good dose of Chinese women in charge, on the other hand recalling Madam Mao? Maybe not...
