Reading all of the interesting reporting this morning on the Bo Xilai case from the Financial Times, Bloomberg, the South China Morning Post and others, I felt I had to share the news with my Chinese readers on Sina Weibo. Here is an English translation of my original Chinese-language post.
A special work team from Beijing has arrived in Hong Kong to investigate BXL’s [Bo Xilai’s ] assets there and his relationship to Zhou YK [Zhou Yongkang]. The Financial Times reports that Zhou YK faces investigation for discipline violations. http://t.cn/zOWR7WT
The post was made at 9:47:13 am, and deleted within 13 minutes. At 10:00 am I received a notice from Sina Weibo featuring Sina Weibo’s signature eye icon wearing a blue police cap. It read:
