　　Guangdong censors clumsy hatchet job sparks fierce backlash

　　The first big political scandal of 2013 has been delivered courtesy of Tuo Zhen, propaganda chief of Guangdong province.

　　Earlier this week, Tuo spiked the annual editorial address run by the widely respected Southern Weekend newspaper, the latest issue of which hit shelves today. Tuo then replaced the address with a short bland message lined with officialese, referring repeatedly to Xi Jinping as the key for China to realise all its dreams.

　　See the two works side-by-side here, with the original on the left.

　　For his rape, as its being called, of the news weeklys meagre editorial independence, Tuos has become a household name overnight as furious media professionals and netizens across the country have raised discussion over the censored address to the top of social media trending topic lists.
