Communist Party Propaganda Czar Li Changchun Forbids Media Reporting on Chinese Participants in Siemens Bribery Scandal
Boxun reports that in recent days the Communist
Party's Central Propaganda Department have notified national media to
refrain from reporting on the Chinese participants in the ongoing
bribery scandal involving German multinational corporation Siemens.
According to a Beijing Daily newspaper department chief, neither the
Central Propaganda Department nor the Beijing News Office has
prohibited reporting on the Siemens scandal itself, they just forbid
mention of the Chinese participants.
This Siemens bribery scandal is global in scope. The U.S. Justice
Department has revealed that three of Siemens Chinese subsidiaries are
suspected of large-scale bribery: its transport group, its medical
group, and its electric power group. It involves officials in China's
electric power, transportation and medical bureaucracies. The case is
believed to involve the family members of sitting Politburo officials.
