Good for them. Maybe it’ll help keep this story alive. So sad, watching the feeling morph from hope to resignation in recent weeks.

It’s a great story, and I was going to post it as well (when I got home later today). The reporter got in touch with a lot of Hao’s friends. I hope it does some good. It feels like there has to be some resolution of this soon…

I still can’t understand why CCP resorts to this kind of maffia trick of trade, like abuduction, hoastage taking, blackmailing, etc, while they can conveniently arrest and ‘prosecute’ anyone. Although there is no rule of law, at least they can rule by law. Now they learn from KMT, again? Their old foe was master of undersociety.

bellevue, never forget that the Communist Party, as an extension of Lenin’s party, started out as a pack of gangsters who scoffed at the very idea of law.

That’s true; both CCP and KMT started out as a Leninist party. KMT embraced rule of law (at least cosmetically) in 80s and lost its dictatorship. Maybe CCP has learned a lesson from that.
