Wenzhou govt. to persuade official to return from ParisPosted by Eric Mu, October 23, 2008 1:16 PM
Newspapers earlier reported that Yang Xianghong (杨湘洪), a government officer of Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, failed to return after an official visit to Paris in early October and has stayed in France for the last 18 days. Yang's overstay has aroused suspicion of corruption. Reports also say that local government officials have been warned not to comment on the incident to the media. Today's Yangtse Evening Post reported that Yang has sent a letter to the Wenzhou government claiming that he was too sick for his job and wanted to resign. The government is going to send a team of three, including a medical doctor, to assess Yang's health and persuade him to return. The newspaper also reported that another government official Xi Weiming (忻伟民), vice director of Shanghai's Luwan district, has also been reported missing during another official visit to Paris.
