	Han Zhao - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Han Zhao (Simplified Chinese: 汉赵, Traditional Chinese: 漢趙; pinyin: Hànzhào; 304-329) was a state of the Sixteen Kingdoms during the Chinese Jin Dynasty (265-420).
		Han Zhao was therefore a state that never fully realized its potential -- it had the right mix of talent among its officials, and its armies were powerful when properly used, but it would never complete the conquests that its emperors envisioned, and eventually fell to its formal general Shi Le.
		Although chronologically the Han Zhao was not the first of the Sixteen kingdoms, its armies sacked the Jin dynastic capitals of Luoyang in 311 and Chang'an in 316.

	RFA: Ousted Chinese Leader Zhao Ziyang Dies at 85
		Zhao Ziyang addresses the student hunger strikers through a megaphone at dawn, in one of the buses on Tiananmen Square in which protesters sheltered.
		In an essay on Zhao published on the 15th anniversary of the 1989 crackdown, Bao said his former boss had tried to reform the Party, realizing that the disasters of the Cultural Revolution (1966-76) all stemmed from a lack of rule of law and democracy.
		Zhao is survived by his wife, Liang Boqi—who fought with him in the war against Japan—as well as his four sons, daughter, and at least four grandchildren.

	Obituary: Zhao Ziyang, former leader of China's Communist Pary
		Zhao Ziyang, toppled as China's Communist Party (CCP) leader for opposing the military crackdown on the 1989 pro-democracy protests, has died at the age of 85, after suffering a series of strokes.
		Zhao’s death may create problems for China’s rulers, given that he was persecuted for refusing to support repression, advocating "dialogue" with protesters instead.
		Zhao became prime minister in 1980 and assumed, in addition, the post of CCP general secretary in January 1987.
