The Guardian: Beijing paper's staff strike after editor's removal

"Staff at one of China's most outspoken newspapers have gone on strike following the removal of their authority-baiting editor-in-chief Yang Bin."

"The protest at the Beijing News, a tabloid known for its forthright coverage of official corruption, is the first time in recent years that media workers have reacted so strongly to the political sacking of a senior editor."
