Provenance and limitations
The charges, textbook allegations, and bribery amount originate in official PRC accounts and are therefore attributed to those authorities. Independent observers did not have public access to the trial. The death-with-reprieve sentence is documented; any later commutation remains unconfirmed in the located sources, and no current detention location is published here.
