NY Times spærret i Kina efter report om premierministers rigdom

Kina har spærret for The New York Times hjemmeside og blokeret for søgninger efter den på microblogs efter avisen rapporterede at den kinesiske premierminister Wen Jiabos familie, under hans regering, har akkumuleret aktiver til en værdi på mindst $ 2,7 mia.

The Guardian skriver:

A spokesman, Hong Lei, said the report "blackens China's name and has ulterior motives". Authorities have also blocked the news organisation's main and Chinese-language websites and banned searches for "New York Times" in English and Chinese on microblogs.

"China manages the internet in accordance with laws and rules," Hong told reporters at a daily briefing when asked why the sites were inaccessible.
