From CBC News: “China will hold a memorial for Zhao Ziyang this weekend at its main cemetery for revolutionary heroes, a government official said Thursday, after more than a week of wrangling over how the deposed Communist party leader will be officially remembered.
The ‘body farewell ceremony’ will take place Saturday morning at the Babaoshan Cemetery in Beijing, said the Chinese cabinet official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Such a ceremony is a lower-status event than a state funeral.
The official wouldn’t say which Chinese leaders might attend or give other details, such as what the official assessment of his life might be at the ceremony or where Zhao will be interred.
Foreign reporters are barred from the event, the official said.”
