BEIJING (AP) — China's Foreign Ministry on Tuesday denounced as "groundless" reports based on documents leaked from a Panama-based law firm that name relatives of current and retired Chinese politicians, including President Xi Jinping, as owning offshore companies.
"For these groundless accusations, I have no comment," Hong told reporters at a regularly scheduled news conference.Spokesman Hong Lei said he would not discuss the reports further and declined to say whether the individuals named would be investigated.
State media are ignoring reports on the revelations. Search results of websites and social media for the words "Panama documents" were blocked Tuesday.
