The BBC not only has a good coverage of the effects of the aftermath of Zhao Ziyang's death, they have also unearth this most intriguing picture of current premier Wen Jiabao standing next to Zhao Ziyang during his dramatic appeal at Tiananmen Square in 1989. Wen was then a close aide of Zhao Ziyang
The BBC-piece also contributes to the discussion about the way China will deal with Zhao's death. "Zhao's funeral is therefore likely to be a low-key affair held under the tightest security, as part of continuing efforts to avoid providing any opportunity for protest."
That would be an old-style reaction, so not unlikely, but would still be deplorable.
