And It’s Gone! After 3 Days, Beijing Bans Discussion Of Viral China Smog Documentary<\/a><\/h3>\n

As The FT reports,<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\n
Chinese censors have moved to tamp down discussion<\/strong>\u00a0of a hard-hitting documentary on air pollution that sent the country\u2019s blogosphere into overdrive, highlighting political sensitivity about China\u2019s smog problem.<\/div>\n

Propaganda authorities directed news outlets on Monday not to publish stories about Under the Dome<\/strong>, the emotional first-person documentary by a former state television anchor, journalists from three news organisations told the Financial Times on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

The official Xinhua News Agency has deleted at least two original articles on the documentary from its website,<\/strong>\u00a0including one about the environment minister\u2019s praise for the film. The other deleted article is about how the film has become a hot topic at the parliament meeting. Both articles are still available on other news sites.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
