China dismissed a New York Times report that exposed the wealth amassed by the family of former Premier Wen Jiabao as having “ulterior motives” on Tuesday, after it won a Pulitzer Prize.
The story, which was published in October last year, alleged close relatives of Wen have made billions of dollars in business dealings.
It provoked anger from authorities in China, who said it was part of a “smear” by “voices” opposed to the country’s development. The Times’ Chinese and English websites were subsequently blocked in China and remain inaccessible. Reported by S.China Morning Post 9 hours ago.
