The Panama Papers revealed links between family members of several Politburo Standing Committee members and offshore shell companies<\/a>. Among the names in the recently publicized leaks was Deng Jiagui, brother-in-law to Xi Jinping through his elder sister Qi Qiaoqiao. Deng\u2019s reserves of wealth were previously reported by Bloomberg in 2012<\/a>. Since the 2012 report, \u201cbrother-in-law\u201d has been used by netizens to invoke their disdain<\/a> for the high political connections of the wealthy elite. As censors scramble to keep the Panama Papers out of the news<\/a> in China, the terms \u201cXi Jinping\u2019s brother-in-law\u201d<\/strong> (\u4e60\u8fd1\u5e73\u59d0\u592b), Deng Jiagui (<\/strong>\u9093\u5bb6\u8d35)<\/strong>, and the pinyin Dengjiagui <\/strong>are blocked from search results on Weibo.<\/p>\n

In the wake of the Panama Papers, a parody of Taiwanese poet Yu Guangzhong\u2019s \u201cNostalgia\u201d (\u4e61\u6101)<\/a>, one of several poems in which Yu explores sentiment regarding Taiwan\u2019s separation from the mainland<\/a>, has been circulating online. CDT has translated the reworked poem, which ends with a reference to the Xi-Deng relationship<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Panama<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When I was young
\nPanama was a broad canal
\nThe Pacific Ocean was here
\nThe Atlantic was there<\/p>\n

After growing up
\nPanama was an independent country
\nColumbia was here
\nCosta Rica was there<\/p>\n

Later
\nPanama was a long isthmus<\/a>
\nNorth America was on this side
\nSouth America on that side<\/p>\n

And now
\nPanama is a mass of leaked documents
\nBig-brother-in-law<\/a> here
\nLittle-brother-in-law<\/a> there\u00a0[Chinese<\/strong><\/a>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
