Chinese man on trial for spreading false rumours online
Found on The Guardian on Friday, 11 April 2014
Qin Zhihui invented a story that the government gave 200m yuan (£19m) in compensation to the family of a foreign passenger killed in a high-speed train crash in 2011, the official Xinhua news agency reported.
Online rumours are particularly pervasive in China, where traditional media is heavily regulated by the government and public trust in the media is low.
You can't tell the truth, you can't tell lies. Sure it's not easy in China.
