Chinese Blogger Chosen As Head of Investigation

Posted by admin  Published in Uncategorized

Lew Perin writes \”China hasn\’t developed much of a reputation for government transparency. And in Yunnan province, the case of a guy who died in police custody was starting to look like a cover up. But then the provincial government startled everyone by choosing a prominent local blogger to head the official investigation into the death. \’The unorthodox move to make popular bloggers heads of an investigation committee is a tacit admission by the Yunnan government of the power of the internet - especially blogs - in shaping Chinese public opinion. It also belies the widespread suspicion of the official version of Li\’s death.\’\”
