Beijing denounces NYT report on Wen

[Newasia]

BEIJING: China's Foreign Ministry hit out at a New York Times report on Friday which claimed that Premier Wen Jiabao's family had amassed massive wealth during his term in office.

"Some reports smear China and have ulterior motives," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said in response to a question about the report, which said that Wen's family controlled assets worth $2.7 billion dollars from 1992-2012.

Isn't it ironic that these Communists hold so much capital wealth and at same time embrace communism - the opposite to capitalism.

Such hypocrites and corrupt commies!

OK what. about the same as Dr M's wealth.
US politicians also got rich after retirement. Some came from rich family.
Maggie Thatcher's son became a businessman selling british arms to Saudi when she was PM.

All politicians are bastards. They treat their people as idiots. What a shame.
