The last four paragraphs:

"将王立军事件和维基揭密扯上关系的不止博讯一家。大陆网民方应看在他主持的自由中国论坛上说，维基揭密2月18日公布了王立军在美国领事馆的录音资料。 (http://blog.boxun.com/hero/201202/fangyingkan/4_1.shtml)

"这篇帖子说，王立军在领馆逗留期间，曾向副领事Sean Barker和两名CIA雇员表示有重要国家机密向美国政府透露。方应看说，王立军被带到三楼防窃听会议室后，拿出了厚厚一个文件夹，表示里面全是中国党和国家最高层领导人的机密，希望以此换取政治避难权。

"不过，这个帖子下面公布的维基揭密的链接无法打开，而美国国务院公布的海外重要官员的名单中也无法查到Sean Barker其人。

"据美国之音记者搜索，维基揭密网站上最后一次发布机密文件的日期是去年的12月1日。该网站的官方论坛在2月7日，也就是王立军离开美国领馆的当天的确发布了一篇涉及薄熙来报导，但其中只提到薄将与加拿大总理哈珀会晤一事，并披露了一些有关薄熙来仕途的分析，对于王立军在美领馆10个小时中究竟发生了什么只字未提。

My comment:
(a) Just like VOA's previous report based on Bill Gertz's, this VOA report talks about  Washington Times. But Mr Gertz's reports on Mr Wang Lijun have so far been published at Free Beacon.
(b) This VOA report is based on
Bill Gertz, Chinese Demand Return of Documents; Botched defection leads to diplomatic crisis, puts whistleblower at risk. Washington Free Beacon, Feb 21, 2012.
http://freebeacon.com/chinese-demand-return-of-documents/

Quote from Gertz:

"The case also highlights growing concerns among U.S. officials that China’s outwardly stable regime is facing a major internal crisis in the months leading up to a leadership change.

"The Hong Kong Economic Times, a daily newspaper with good sources in Beijing, reported Feb. 15 that the Wang case exposed factional infighting between Chongqing and Shanghai communists, and that Bo Xilai’s Chongqing faction appears to be losing out in the political struggle.

Sorry, I tried but failed to find the report of Hong Kong Economic Times (www.hket.com; 香港經濟日報) whose website allows search and reading for subscribers only.
