What is the suitable moment to declare th truth?
Why do they cover up the truth that Huang caught cancer?

haha, tokio, JP

The CCTV released Huang's death today(June, 2nd).....

What about the China's stock in the near future?

Please the international friends do not guess anything......

Peter, BEIJING, China

This is 99% true from reviewing the habit of Chinese Government.. Cover up the truth,and keep it to a suitable day to declare it,or even keep it till fading out in people's brain.
I don't think that's a bad way,but the problem is:If this is used in each tissue..what will happen?

whatever...I'm onlt a normal person.

Rovers, ChengDu., China

Huang is not the most powerful one from shanghai in the politburo, zeng qinghong is.
as for this news, i would take it 99.99% true.

Huang has been politically dead since Jiang Zemin stepped down in 2002. Chen Liangyu's downfall preluded Huang's dimming fate under Hu-Wen duumvirate. His health problems are only a smoke-screen commonly exercised by Chinese politicians. The death of a high-ranking official like Huang should be handled carefully because the balance of powers is very delicate in China's elite politics. If Huang had been dead, the CCp Central Committee might be working out a contigency plan like who was going to take Huang's ball; after all, Huang was expected to be elbowed out in September this year, not now. If Huang weren't dead by now, his days are counting down -- pancreatic cancer has been eating him for quite some some. But concealing Huang's death is beyond me. It was rumored the Chinese government held back Deng Xiaoping's death for three days before domestic media were all over it. In Huang's case, there really is no leave a big and unidentified blip on the radar.

I don't believe it.

China , Hongkong,

So, did he die, or did he not die? What would the Chinese goverment stand to gain by covering up his death? I don't get it, maybe this is why I am not a politician.

Jessica, Sydney, Australia

yy, shanghai,

Interesting news, who will be the substituter, and any impact to China Economy or Shanghai's development since he is the most powerful one of “Shanghai clique” and his death means a lot to them

Rking, SH,

apparently

Rob, warwick uni library (bored),

Chinese authority has declared that it's a rumor.

Fei, Beijing, China

it is not true

xujie, wuhan,

China "took the rare step" of denying that one of its most senior members had died? How absurd! If he's not dead, why would it be strange for the government to make a denial? I don't understand your logic. Seems like you're trying to cover for your own mistake.

Joy, Beijing,

It is not true!

xujie, wuhan,

"China denies its finance minister has died"....But Mr. Huang Ju is not finance minister, to be frank.

dahuang, Shizuoka, Japan

Huang Ju wasn't the finance minister. And a Google search showed that Reuters was the only other international news agency to report on this, citing Phoenix TV.

Tim Sardones, Beijing,

really?

roy, nanjing,

It is sure?huang ju is died?

jeff, beijing, china

I doubt.
Haven't seen any other news on net.

fox, shanghai,

Pay my reverence to Mr Huang.Thanks him for his contribution to Chinese.
