I would also like to see more independent confirmation, maybe by interviewing Mr. Hogg himself. I don't think the mainland media would corroborate a story like this, it doesn't really paint the CCP in a good light. This would be a major scoop for NY Times, BBC, WSJ, Le Monde or any other large, Western publication. It's a story that has everything that resonates in a "CCP vs democracy" framework so it's a bit too sursprising that nobody else has picked it up. Hogg has resigned so i don't see what more damage it would cause him if he agreed to an interview.
