BEIJING // An interpreter for the Chinese president, Hu Jintao, was
executed for divulging the content of conversations between the
president and North Korean leader Kim Jong-il to South Korea, a Hong
Kong newspaper reported.

The Apple Daily said on Wednesday that Mr Hu’s interpreter, Zhang
Liucheng, was found to have worked as a spy for South Korea, and was
subsequently executed, citing a report in External Reference, a
monthly publication edited by He Pin, a prominent US-based dissident
and expert on Chinese internal political affairs.

Mr Zhang “revealed confidential conversation records between Hu Jintao
and Kim Jong-il”, according to the article.

But some China analysts disputed the credibility of the report.
