China bans paper for three months

The Chinese authorities have issued a three-month ban on the China Business Post for contravening media regulations. The weekly paper ran an article in July about a bank having engaged in an illegal write-off. The authorities claim the paper failed to obtain a comment from the bank, but the article states that the bank refused to comment. The International Federation of Journalists believes that this decision puts investigative journalism in China in jeopardy. (Via IFJ)
