Internet users are calling for the unsolved case of Zhu Ling, a chemistry
student at Beijing's Tsinghua University who became permanently disabled
after being poisoned with thallium in 1994, to be reopened.
The poisoning death in April of Huang Yang, a graduate student at Shanghai's
Fudan University, has sparked public interest in Zhu Ling's case.
Over 100,000 people have already signed a petition on the White House
website alleging that Zhu Ling's former Tsinghua roommate, Sun Wei, be
deported from the US and face investigation, says Southern Metropolis Daily.
The petition has now reached the signature threshold (100,000 signatures
within 30 days) that requires the White House to issue a response.
Hong Kong's Apple Daily notes that Sina Weibo, a microblog service,
temporarily blocked searches for keywords such as "Zhu Ling", "Sun Wei" and
"thallium poisoning" last week.
However, the ban appears to have been lifted as more and more internet users
see the Zhu Ling case as a touchstone for the rule of law in China,
University of Hong Kong's China Media Project notes.
"With or without reason, the Zhu Ling case has fuelled the sense among some
Chinese that government officials are above the law," China Media Project
adds.
A bilingual Global Times editorial urges the public not to be guided by the
"presumption of guilt" in assuming that Sun Wei's powerful family
connections helped bury the case.
"The White House cannot be the foreign 'petition office' of China. However,
embarrassments in the Internet age need not be covered up," it concludes.

white house do something. it was just a mean to make this case known by
more people in the world. |
