Edward Wong, China's Angst Over Economy Tests Leaders; Eroding consumer confidence adds to economic crisis, New York Times, Aug 29, 2015 (front page).

Quote:

"These days, Chinese are using the social media app WeChat to look for news and advice on the economy rather than the state news media, which, at the orders of the Communist Party’s propaganda department, have only had bare-bones reporting on the stock market crisis and the broader concerns over slowing economic growth.

"Caijing had published an article on July 20 by the reporter, Wang Xiaolu 王晓璐, saying that China’s Securities Regulatory Commission was looking to withdraw funds from the turbulent stock market.  Despite Mr. Wang’s detention and a denial of the report from a commission representative, Caijing has kept the article online. The magazine released a statement saying it did not know why the police had detained Mr. Wang.

My comment: Despite the front-page status, the report says nothing but angst, which is anticipated. So there is no need to read it.
