China Censors HIV/AIDS Awareness Documentary

eldavojohn writes "Amnesty International is reporting an unusual case of censorship in which Chinese police questioned HIV/AIDS workers in China and instructed them to cancel an airing of a documentary made by Aizhixing Institute of Health Education on the disease. The director of that NGO recently left China after constant police harassment. The canceled documentary was about Tian Xi, a patient who contracted HIV by blood transfusion at age 9."

    You're right; here in the USA, we know about all censorship that occurs. Of course, we have lots of crazy conspiracy-types who make lots of silly claims, but we know not to listen to them since they're crazy, duh.

    US citizens bought enough guns in three months to supply every soldier in China and India with a rifle and enough ammunition in one month to have them shoot that rifle around 450 times.
