Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao is asking for a formal investigation into the finances of his family, according to Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post. It follows a New York Times article suggesting Wen's extended family has amassed a multibillion-dollar fortune. Wen and his family have denied the Time's claims. Two Beijing lawyers confirmed that Wen's family had engaged them to dispute the allegations. They've also not ruled out taking legal action against the Times. If Wen's investigation request is true, it may be an attempt to clear his name. The outgoing Premier has been one of the main advocates of anti-corruption in the Chinese regime. It may also set the stage for wider disclosure of the financial interests of Chinese leaders—a move that has so far met resistance from the broader base of communist officials.
