After the terrorist attack, CPC general secretary Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang assigned Meng Jianzhu, Secretary of the Central Politics and Law Commission, to oversee the investigation. There was some coverage in the regional press; local "Kunming Times" carried the story on its front page. But the "South China Morning Post" (SCMP) remarked that the China Central Television evening news programme as well as other national media did not report the attack. Coverage was also scant in the "Southern Metropolis Daily" in Guangzhou and the "Yangtse Evening Post".
