Chinese reporter sues her government

A Chinese reporter whose newspaper was closed for three months after she wrote an article that criticised one of China's largest banks has sued the government. In a rare challenge to communist party control over the media, Cui Fan claims the authorities had no right to shut down the China Business Post for publishing her article, which alleged that the Agricultural Bank of China had committed forgery. The paper is state-owned but managed by a private company. It sells about 400,000 copies nationwide. (Via AP)
