(paragraph 1: "The sudden disappearance of Wang Lijun, Chongqing's erstwhile police chief, is the hottest topic in the Chinese online world. And no wonder. Mr. Wang appears to be a pawn in the national leadership struggle, so the personal and political stakes are high. This is a case that pits forces in the Communist Party who want to preserve the Leninist mechanisms for choosing leaders against the forces of mass politics")

My comment: There is no need to read it, which says nothing except the first paragraph.

My comment:
(a) Google News labels this report "Highly cited."
(b) Please only read the final third of the report (the rest is about matters we already know)--starting with the phrase "Chinese scholars, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told CNA that."
