Submission + - Chinese Billionaire Manages to Fool Western Media But Gets Censored in China (theepochtimes.com)
BioTitan writes: What if Warren Buffet called a press conference, sung karaoke, mused on international politics for 10 minutes, then announced he was paying $2 million for the reconstructive surgery of two women, claiming to be former Christians, who set themselves on fire 13 years ago? Then he brings the women out and slowly unwraps their burnt faces, to demonstrate to the crowd how generous he is. Chen Guangbiao, the Chinese businessman who grabbed headlines for saying he wanted to buy the New York Times, held almost the same press conference the other day. His story was reported widely in English-language media, but censored by the government back home in China. The reason involves complex factional politics of the Chinese Communist Party.
