Quote:

"Two separate Chongqing sources told the Sunday Morning Post yesterday that municipal mayor Huang Qifan was in Beijing. It is widely believed he is reporting to the central government.

"Chongqing Daily yesterday carried a lengthy report about Bo's visit to Yunnan on Wednesday and Thursday. He was quoted comparing his 'red songs' campaign with Peking Opera, saying 'both spread the essence of Chinese culture.' A Chongqing reporter said they covered the Yunnan trip a day later than Yunnan media because Bo personally vetted every report about him.

My comment: There is no need toread the rest of the SMCO report, which mainly recaps the Canadian Press report--the only detailed account of Harper/Bo meeting.
