I appreciate the presence of a grad student with a sincere disposition around here. I'm so damn cynical (and Leon, my first masters was basically the same as yours) that I'm 100pc disassociated from that world. It is nice to see that the thirst for information for the sake of information still exists.

Certainly. But that does not make a case for it being our right (as non-Chinese) to know the private details of Chinese leaders. I'm not excusing any wrongdoing on their part.
