Singapore paper criticizes China's judical process as opaque

Smacks of realism at work. The ST will only make noise because the Singapore Govt cannot make those noises, after all, we need to prick someone slightly, and if it can be seen in the press that we are labelling the PRC judiciary as opaque or be seen by the public as blasting them...it might actually work in satisfying the current anti-PRC mood that they might have sensed within the population.Originally posted by #$%^&*:I doubt it will be an open trial, simply because it is an espionage case.
Also I don't know why is Straits Times not keeping its mouth shut and let the case slip quietly.
Ching Chong was a state journalist at the 'State Times'.
He could be a Singapore agent tasked with assisting Taiwan intelligence operation.
I don't think the Taiwanese intelligence was so good and coincidentally cultivated him, a convinient journalist from a third country, Singapore.
Also I don't think if Ching Chong was really that innocent and was being used without him realizing, that he would get 5 years, and the case publicised, instead of him being evicted only.
It is curious that State Times now make noise.
Works both ways doesn't it, it allows the ST to raise hell, like any other newspaper, and also fool the public into thinking that this is an independant newspaper..
Quite ingenious I might add.. -
