China doesn't want you to read this

I think China is pissed at me again. They are cracking down on “false news reports, unauthorized publications and bogus journalists”, and of course China considers itself the ultimate authority to define what actually is false, unauthorized or bogus.

One "false" report was the cardboard food article I mentioned a few days ago. China is protecting its citizens from such dangerous news by throwing the journalist responsible for the story in jail.

Quote:

"The crackdown, confirmed by the government’s official web site, comes after a television journalist was given a one-year prison sentence and a $130 fine on Sunday for allegedly fabricating a story about Beijing dumpling makers that were said to use cardboard as filler."

Maybe August 15th should be declared Chinese News Repression day.
