Wang Ting-yu: CCP ordered my smackdown

DPP Tanan city councilor Wang Ting-yu, stated today that the mobsters who gave him a good smacking around last week told him the smackdown was on the orders of a high ranking CCP official to extract an apology and in retaliation for Wang's "push" of Zhang Mingqing.

Wang did not report the incident to the police at the time, only putting in a request for greater protection of his family. Ever since yesterday info keeps creeping into more and more media outlets about this incident.

I find the allegation plausible but unsupported by evidence (some mafia here is close to China, certainly unafraid of the police or politicians, and I can see China wanting to exact some revenge).
