Chairman comes home Self-made billionaire Joseph Lau, who holds a majority stake in Chinese Estates Holdings, was named by Christie's as the buyer of "Mao", a 1972 work featuring the late Chinese leader in familiar pose against a pale blue background. Xinhua has not reported the sale. However Mop.com has published a summary of a report in Chinese language Hong Kong newspaper Ta Kung Pao (大公报) about the sale, together with a photo of the art work (screenshot above). The report is credited to China News (中国新闻社 or 中新社), the state-owned little brother to Xinhua News Agency. Ta Kung Pao (formerly L'Impartial) is a Hong Kong newspaper that has been published for more 100 years. Since 1949, the PRC government has funded it. Links and Sources
