Chinese Ofgficial on Tour of Japan
Deng Pufang, son of China’s leader Deng Xiaoping , arrived in Japan Friday on an inspection tour of facilities for the handicapped. Deng, deputy director-in-chief of the state-run Chinese Welfare Fund for the Handicapped, is scheduled to visit Japanese rehabilitation and vocational facilities for the physically handicapped during his 15-day stay, the Kyodo News Service reported.
Deng is confined to a wheelchair, reportedly since he was hurled out of a fourth-story window by radicals during the 1966-76 Cultural Revolution.
