media - In contrast: the coverage in The Standard

Nothing could be more contrasting than the coverage between Hong Kong and mainland media on the death of Zhao Ziyang. Especially the free-accessible The Standard (in contrast again to the non-linkable SCMP) has dedicated much of todays paper to Zhao. Usefull is this article the dilemma's China's leaders face regarding Zhao's funeral.
An important observation in the tail of the article:

"A new book published in Hong Kong recently appears to support the theory that
Zhao's disgrace was not as deep as it appeared to the outside world. The book,
Political Struggles in the Age of Reform and Opening Up, is written by Yang
Jisheng, a retired senior journalist from Xinhua, who interviewed Zhao three
times over the past 15 years. In one interview, Zhao told the journalist that
after his ouster as party leader, Deng at least three times asked him to come
back to work, but Zhao set two conditions: the June 4 verdict had to be
reversed, and he should be returned to a post with real power. Deng could not
accept the first condition.
"If anything, this suggests that even Deng himself, who drove Zhao into oblivion, did not think Zhao as guilty of unpardonable evil."
