World Now - Beijing bureau - latimes.com: "REPORTING FROM BEIJING AND WASHINGTON -- A crusading former police chief in the boomtown of Chongqing disappeared under unexplained circumstances and reportedly may have tried and failed to obtain political asylum at a nearby U.S. Consulate.
Chongqing issued an unusual and cryptic statement Wednesday saying that Vice Mayor Wang Lijun was “highly stressed and in poor health ... because of long-term overwork” and that he was “accepting vacation-style treatment.”
The reports that he might have sought asylum in the United States were fueled by an unusual police presence at the U.S. Consulate in nearby Chengdu."
