My comment
(a) Apparently I missed this report.
(b) The report cites
(i) Will Pavia and Leo Lewis, Bo Xilai's Son 'May Seek Asylum.' Times of London, Apr 14, 2012.
(A) Regarding quotation 1 of the VOA report. It is known that Google News (news.google.com) can not return search results of news reports that its publishers do not want them to be found. In other words, if a publisher decides to put reports behind a pay wall, those reports can not be found by Google News--sometimes, by Google itself. This was the outcome of a settlement of a civil action where publishers sued Google (possibly a decade ago).
(B) 保护性扣留 protective custody
This explains why the deputy spokesperson of US Department of States yesterday said "there is nothing to the story" that Mr Bo Guagua was in custody.
(ii) Ros Krasny, After Harvard, future is uncertain for Bo's son. Reuters, Apr 14, 2012. http://www.reuters.com/article/2 ... USBRE83C1JF20120414
("In 2010, a year later than expected, Bo graduated with high marks in politics, philosophy, and economics")
My posting dated Apr 14 and titled "BO Guagua" listed the Reuters report.
