Chinese authorities have blocked online access to an article published on the English-language and Chinese-language websites of The Wall Street Journal that describes how a top Chinese state banker’s commercial success hasn’t translated into promotion within the Communist Party.
A story on the Journal website states, “The Journal had posted the English-language article about Jiang Jianqing, the longtime chairman of Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Ltd., at about noon Tuesday in China. It posted the Chinese version of the article on its Chinese-language site about two hours later.
“By 6 p.m. Tuesday in China, access to both the English- and Chinese-language versions of the article had been blocked. A post linking to the article on the Journal’s Sina Weibo microblog account was also blocked. A Sina spokesman said he didn’t have an immediate comment.
“For more go to China Real Time.”
