Zhao’s Death Presents Dilemma for China

From AP, via ABC News: “While he lived, China’s Communist Party considered ousted leader Zhao Ziyang such a potent threat that it kept him under house arrest for 15 years.

After his death, China’s leaders face an even tougher challenge: how to give a fallen comrade his due without stirring up support for a figure accused of endangering communist rule in 1989.”
