At least he did not threaten to sue the French newspaper for libel and defamation.
In some other country implying that somebody becomes a high ranking politician/hold a senior post because of family ties will get you or your organisation being sued for millions. Ask FEER,WSJ, IHT, ect2.
It is by no means clear that other countries would have fared better in a similar situation- including PRC, India and Philippines where
most of the pappy's "precious " and 1st class FT's come from.
We should not pass judgement until the full story/facts have been uncovered.
The PRC's are making helluva noise but I bet the contaminated foods, water and air kill more people in China every month than the MH370 disaster.
