All questions » World » Asia » Will Zhang Zhiguo be dismissed from his new job?
Current forecast: 5% chance

Combining all predictions, the current forecast is that this is 5% likely to happen (unchanged in last 1 day)
Zhang Zhiguo was forced to quit for having police subpoena a Beijing-based reporter in retaliation for a story about the local justice system early this year.
Reporter Zhu Wenna published a story on January 1 this year, in which she claimed that Xifeng officials were not following procedure in a court case against a businesswoman.
The article angered Zhang, who in turn dispatched local police to travel 500 miles to Beijing to arrest Zhu. The move by the police sparked nationwide protest, forcing Xifeng police to withdraw the investigation against Zhu on January 9.
A local report last week revealed that Zhang was appointed the vice director of the light rail project linking Tieling, a local city, and Shenyang, the provincial capital of Liaoning.

Category Editor Clarification: The question will settle based on the results known by the suspend date of Feb 25, 2009. If no news of Zhang Zhiguo's job status is to be found, then it will be settled as No at that time.
