Who considers him a protégé?♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 10:53, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Ref #4 says he is widely considered a protégé of Zhou Yongkang, apparently by many people. But it does not mention anyone specific. -Zanhe (talk) 14:03, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Why considered though? Either he is or he isn't. it needs to be an assertive fact.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 16:04, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

The fact is that he is widely considered a protege of Zhou Yongkang, which are the exact words from a reliable source. He did work directly under Zhou, which is most likely why he is considered the latter's protege, but I can't make that connection as the source doesn't say it explicitly. -Zanhe (talk) 17:47, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

How about this:

ALT1: ... that before Zhou Benshun was recently appointed party chief of Hebei province, he worked under Zhou Yongkang, China's former security czar? -Zanhe (talk) 20:13, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

That would be fine, ALT1 approved.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 08:04, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your review. Struck out the original hook. -Zanhe (talk) 08:12, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
