Chinese Premier hit by wealth scandal

Posted: 26 Oct 2012 09:30 AM PDT
www.euronews.com The New York Times says Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao's family has accumulated huge wealth during his time in power. The paper claims partnerships linked to Wen's relatives have controlled assets of at least 2 billion euros. Wen's image has been built on his humble roots and compassion for ordinary people. But The Times alleges his family and friends have held significant corporate holdings, including more than 1.5 billion euros worth of stock in the Ping An Insurance Company. The paper, which based its findings on corporate records, claims Wen's wife, siblings and children have amassed most of their wealth since he became vice premier in 1998. He became leader five years later. The government has hit back at the allegations. Spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Hong Lei said, "The report attempts to blacken China's name and has ulterior motives." The New York Times websites have been blocked to internet users in China, where the private lives of leaders are considered state secrets. The paper says it presented its findings to the Chinese government ahead of publication, but did not receive any comment. Find us on: Youtube bit.ly Facebook www.facebook.com Twitter twitter.com

Chinese anti-chemical protests dispersed

Posted: 27 Oct 2012 03:19 AM PDT
www.euronews.com Several hundred Chinese police officers have dispersed more than a thousand demonstrators in the eastern city of Ningbo who had staged sometimes violent protests against the planned expansion of a petrochemical plant. The unrest poses a major challenge to authorities in Beijing just a fortnight before China's leadership changes hands in its once-in-a-decade power transition. The protesters are angry about plans to enlarge a chemical plant run by a subsidiary of the China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation. In particular, they are focusing on the production of the chemical paraxylene - or more simply PX - which the demonstrators claim is carcinogenic. Environmental protests are tolerated by authorities more than those with political motivation. On Weibo, China's version of Twitter, discussion of the protests was not blocked.

Pretty soon I won't even have to bother with commentary of any kind, and the entire production of this blog will be a series of naked hyperlinks. Sounds like a plan.
