Ironically, the Chinese President can impress the world as a true leader in the fight against corruption if he takes a public stance of maximun support and co-operation towards uncovering the facts in the judicial investigation by the Namibian judge into Chinese company corruption in Namibia.
That case must be allowed to run it's course without interferance. No doubt the President would want all evidence made available to the defense team and a prompt trial if charges are laid. Detention without trial as experinced by Stern Hu would be a nightmare.
A public declaration of full support for any judicial findings that are made in relation to President Hu Jin Tau’s 38-year-old son, Hu Haifeng, could distinguish the president as a champion for the principles of justice and the fight against the scourge of corruption.
