("Speculation of a coup yesterday spread on the Internet, helping spark the biggest jump in credit-default swaps for Chinese government bonds in four months. * * * The coup rumor was spread in part by the Epoch Times, a New York newspaper linked with the banned Falun Gong spiritual group. * * * Qin Gang, head spokesman at China’s Foreign Ministry, said in a telephone interview last night that he 'hadn’t heard anything about' the Epoch Times report. 'You should be very wary of this newspaper report,' Qin said")
