Detained and questioned by police in Hong Kong? Threatened with jail time? Did they do that under the British? And it's really sad what happened to Sichuan after the earthquake. Which is to say, nothing.

Quoted from "Houstan", a commentor:

Two words that throw me off about Author Yu's credibility: "vocal Christians". That pretty much sums it up. He is just mad because he and his family were left out of the CPC party of wealth therefore take it out on them by siding with the opposite group that he believes that can discredit anyway possible. One can sense it in the article.

If that were true, why go after Wen Jiabao? Why not the whole CCP? Or Hu Jintao for that matter?

Because WJB is the most beloved one and this person probably wants to be rebellious, similar to the concept of "I'm an anti-bandwagoner (just like the rest of them)". Also it may gather more interest, as there less critical material written about WJB than HJT.

Given the State Police actually detained and questioned him in supposedly free Hong Kong SAR, he might have a point about the CCP.

I think Wen did what he could to help the victims during the earthquake. I think he is a decent guy. The problem with China is the system itself, not any particular politician.
