Speculation on CDIC Article about Corrupt Prince 'Ridiculous'

(Beijing) – A senior political adviser has dismissed as "ridiculous" speculation surrounding an article about a corrupt 19th century prince that recently appeared on the website of the Communist Party's graft buster.

Shi Zhihong, deputy director of the Society and Judicial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), said overseas media outlets were reading too much into the article and had violated the ethics of journalism.
