Sept. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Say you are a Shanghai-based
economist and doubt the veracity of China’s latest trade data.
You put out a research report to that effect, one that creates
buzz on the Internet and exposes you to something far worse than
making a bad call: prison.
Or say you are a photographer in Chongqing and circulate
images of a politician who loves Rolexes. Bloggers begin buzzing
about how a modestly compensated public official could afford a
stable of $7,000 watches. You, too, may end up in handcuffs.
