CHINA-LEADERSHIP: FORMER CHINESE PREMIER WEN JIABAO'S ARTICLE DELETED OVERNIGHT

The Macau Guide (March 25-April 15) serialised a letter by former Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao where he recalled the difficult times of poverty of his childhood and his mother's lessons to him. Concluding his article, Wen Jiabao wrote: "However, only sincere, simple and kind emotions cannot be faked. I sympathize with the poor and the weak, and oppose bullying and oppression. In my mind, China should be a country full of fairness and justice, where there will always be respect for the human heart, humanity, and always have the temperament of youth, freedom and struggle. I have screamed and fought for this. This is the truth that life taught me, and it was also given by my mother.

I have screamed and fought for this. This is the truth that life taught me, and it was also given by my mother."

(Comment: 80-year old Wen Jiabao has on occasion, when he was Premier (2003-2013), made carefully crafted ambiguous statements hinting at the need for reform, democracy and more openness. This article's publication could suggest it is a warning to Xi Jinping!)
