A deputy Chinese mayor, whose stay at a U.S. consulate spurred speculation of a shakeup in China’s leadership, may have flown first-class to Beijing with a vice state security minister a day after meeting American diplomats.
A seat was purchased for Wang Lijun on a Feb. 8 flight from Chengdu to Beijing, according to a website authorized by China’s aviation regulator to show all commercial air ticket information. Another first-class ticket was bought for Qiu Jin, a vice minister at the agency responsible for anti-espionage and covert operations to ensure state security.
