Picture of tree seems to be taken from outside a glass wall...the lamps’ shades are reflected in it.
******
To me it looks like we are viewing the back side of a large Christmas tree in a lobby, with the entry doors to the hotel or building opposite from where the picture was taken.

Can it be one of the governmental headquarters, or a hotel where something happened.

To me the message seems to be a warning.

BEIJING (REUTERS) - Chinese President Xi Jinping offered a strong warning against corruption on Saturday while meeting parliament delegates from scandal-plagued Chongqing city, saying officials should not let “pillow talk” within families help to foster graft.

The southwestern metropolis is one of China’s most important cities, but it has been at the heart of two dramatic corruption scandals in recent years.

Its charismatic former Communist Party chief Bo Xilai, once seen as a contender for the top leadership, was jailed for life in 2013 for bribery, corruption and abuse of power, in a case kicked off by his wife’s murder of a British businessman.

Last month Chinese prosecutors charged another party boss in the city, Sun Zhengcai, with bribery. Sun had also once been considered a contender for a national leadership position.

Xi, who has overseen a sweeping war on corruption since coming to power in late 2012, has parachuted in one of his close allies, Chen Miner, to take over Chongqing.

Speaking to Chongqing legislators on the sidelines of China’s annual meeting of parliament, Xi said that “political ecology” was like nature itself.

“If you take your eye off it for a moment then it’s easy to become polluted,” state media cited Xi as saying.

Officials have to set a good example and be moral and law-abiding citizens, he added.

A top priority is to ensure family members are not corrupt, Xi said.

“Prevent pillow talk from becoming a fuse for corruption, prevent your children from raising their own banners to illegally seek profit, prevent those around you from dragging you down.”

Speaking earlier in the week, Chongqing’s current party chief Chen warned that the “evil legacy” of Bo had yet to be rooted out.

(Reflections everywhere. Does this sweeping war on corruption reflect ours?)

Very senior judicial and law enforcement personnel were tried.

Sounds familiar.

Different interpretation of the picture:
HRC
Her dealings with China.
Around Christmas to become public?

Huma left a notebook on the bed as they were leaving China. When she rushed back to the room the notebook was gone. It had the names of our spies in it. They died over the next two years or so. What did she get for that drop?
