In the article "Billions in hidden riches of family of chinese leader", Yang Zhiyun, 90, the mother of prime minister, now holds a value of $120 million stocks from Ping An Insurance. Wen Yunsong, the only son of prime minister, co-found a number of companies with State-owned enterprises like China Mobile, China Telecom, and CCTV. His business also involved with Hollywood investments and founding private schools in Beijing. Wen and his wife owned jewelry, IT, and animation companies as well. The prime minister's wife Zhang Beili, known as China's "Diamond Queen", has expanded her jewelry business when her husband was named vice premier in 1998. In addition to direct family member, Wen Jiabao's younger brother, his brother-in-law and a few other relatives all accumulated a huge amount of wealth. They expanded their own business using the impact of being a prime minister's family. According to New York Times, the total assets of the Wen family is about $2.7 billion. However, the investigation found no assets under the name Wen Jiabao. And it was not possible to determine from the documents whether he recused himself from any decisions that might have affected his relatives' holdings, or whether they received preferential treatment on investments, the article said. The 18th National Congress of Chinese Communist Party, a once-in-a-decade leadership transition will take place in Beijing next month. The report on wealth accumulated by the family of prime minister has led to blocking the whole website to New York Times. Both websites of English and Chinese New York Times were blocked after the article was published in the morning on October 26. When Bloomberg disclosed the family of Xi Jinping has around $376 million worth assets, the government quickly blocked access to its site from mainland China. By 7 am Friday in China, access to both the English and Chinese-language Web sites of The Times was blocked from all 31 cities in mainland China tested. Meanwhile, its account on Chinese Twitter site Weibo.com has been blocked as well. The phrase "New York Times" has become a sensitive element in search engines. The Times's statement called China "an increasingly open society, with increasingly sophisticated media," adding, "The response to our site suggests that The Times can play an important role in the government's efforts to raise the quality of journalism available to the Chinese people." The spokesman of Chinese Foreign Ministry commented on the article on October 26. He said it is an "ulterior motive to demean China's positive image." On the same day, Bloomberg reported that Li Keqiang's brother severs as Deputy secretary of the State Tobacco Bureau. Li Keqiang will to elected as the next prime minister of China next month on the 18th National Congress.
