針對《紐約時報》上周五發表的長篇報道“總理家人隱秘的財富”，北京君合律師事務所的白濤律師和國浩律師事務所的王衛東律師在北京時間星期六（10月27日）夜間針對《紐約時報》的報道在The South China Morning Post-南中國早報上發布聲明，稱：
“《紐約時報》中提及的所謂溫家寶家人的“秘密資產”並不存在。
溫家寶家人中部分成員沒有從事商業活動。部分從事商業活動，但沒有進行任何非法商業活動。他們不擁有任何公司的股份。
溫家寶的母親，除了符合規定的工資和退休金外，沒有任何收入或產業。
溫家寶從未參與過其親屬的商業活動，更不曾允許其親屬的商業活動對其政策的製定和實施產生影響。
溫家寶其他親屬以及這些親屬的“朋友”和“同事”每個人對其自己的商業活動負責。
我們將繼續澄清《紐約時報》的不實報道，並保留追究其法律責任的權利。”
《紐約時報》馬上發表文章對應，認為該聲明並沒有完全否認文章中提到的收入，並承認一些家庭成員在做生意，但強調他們“對自己的商業活動負責。”
《紐約時報》發言人艾琳•墨菲在一封郵件中對時報發表的文章表示有信心，認為這是《紐約時報》一貫感到無比自豪的高質量的新聞調查。
《紐約時報》的文章指出，這種代表中國高級領導人家庭的律師聲明是一個不尋常的舉動。彭博新聞社6月下旬曾發表一篇文章，描述國家副主席習近平的家庭擁有的房地產及其他資產，習的家人沒有公開回應。
Chinese Premier’s Family Disputes Article on Riches
By KEITH BRADSHER，Published: October 27, 2012
The statement was not a sweeping denial of the article. The statement acknowledged that some family members were active in business and that they “are responsible for all their own business activities.”
While the statement disputed that Mr. Wen’s mother had held assets, it did not address the calculation in the article that the family had controlled assets worth at least $2.7 billion.
Eileen Murphy, a spokeswoman for The Times, expressed confidence in the article. “We are standing by our story, which we are incredibly proud of and which is an example of the quality investigative journalism The Times is known for,” she wrote in an e-mail.
The lawyers’ statement represents an unusual move for the family of a senior Chinese leader. When Bloomberg News published an article in late June describing real estate and other assets held by the family of Vice President Xi Jinping, his family did not respond publicly.
