Surely this were a blunnder if in somewhere else. 
ZT:
Just give us the fax, Mr Blair...
By Nick Assinder
Political correspondent, BBC News website, with Tony Blair in Beijing
Tony Blair may be on a mission to further open up relations with China - but giving 100 million Chinese his fax number is probably not what he had in mind.
Thanks to TV interviewer Shui Junyi, that is precisely what he has done.
The host of Central China Television's political programme Top Talk told his 100 million strong audience, and 100 or so students and professors in the studio, that he knew the British prime minister liked answering his letters, faxes and emails (slightly bemused smile from said PM).
"And I have another surprise for him," Mr Shui said, suddenly brandishing a large blue placard with a series of numbers on it.
"Do you recognise it?" he asked.
Mr Blair clearly didn't, only spotting it was a phone number.
"It is your fax number in your office at 10 Downing Street," grinned Mr Shui.
Satellite link
The spin doctors' faces were a picture, the prime minister did his best to look surprised (easy) and unperturbed (not quite so easy).
If I was a fax machine salesman, I would be knocking on Downing Street's door right now with a good new-for- old deal.
Mr Blair, a past master at handling these awkward moments, quickly recovered his composure and began talking about how he can't answer all the 800,000 pieces of correspondence he receives each year, much as he would probably like to.
Mr Shui's first "surprise", by the way, had been during a satellite link with Nottingham University's year-old Chinese campus in Ningbo, Eastern China.
Mr Shui proudly declared the bell tower was an exact replica of the one on the real Nottingham University campus and asked us all to pause as we listened to its Big Ben-style chimes strike 3 o'clock.
More bemused expressions and shuffling of feet.
The rest of the 45 minute programme was given over to a question and answer session between the prime minister and the audience.
