China morning round-up: 'Sacking Bo Xilai is right'
Newspapers on Thursday emphasise that Beijing's decision to suspend Bo Xilai from the Politburo has received "firm support" across the country.
People's Daily claims that "party members, cadres and the masses" believe Beijing made a "visionary, wise, decisive and timely" decision.
It also says that people in Chongqing have chosen to do their best to maintain "overall political and social stability".
People's Daily also runs yet another front page commentary urging people across China to ensure a "good situation of reform, development and stability".
The article, like a similar piece on Wednesday, is reprinted in many regional and local papers.
An editorial in Hong Kong's Ming Pao Daily News says Mr Bo's downfall proved that absolute power can lead to absolute corruption. Beijing must push for political reform immediately, it says.
The editorial's Chinese version , in particular, says: "China only has to do things in its own way when protecting its rights in the South China Sea. Whoever blocks its way, it will go into a stand-of with that country unceremoniously."
"However, China will never escalate things with a misfire."
Mr Hu told Mr Leung that Beijing had "placed high hopes in you", reports say.
People's Daily Overseas Edition lists three key challenges faced by Mr Leung, which include improving the economy, healing social woes and maintaining Hong Kong's "core values".
Shanghai Daily and Shanghai Morning Post lead with a dramatic protest, when a group of passengers who were not happy with their flight delay compensation stormed the taxiway of Shanghai's Pudong International Airport.
A plane which has just landed on the runway managed to stop as it was greeted by the angry passengers. The newspapers are unhappy that the passengers have not been punished for their act.
