The official newspaper of the Communist Party of China plagiarized Wikipedia

[edit]

ExplicitImplicity caught the People's Daily, the official newspaper of the Communist Party of China, plagiarizing from Wikipedia. Compare the Lyndon LaRouche article on July 8th 2005 to Global financial crisis is coming, which was published on November, 22nd 2005 (that appears to be the day it was published based upon the url and it was updated later the same day). The reporter copied the introduction almost exactly. Wikipedia was blocked from China when the article was published, but the writer, Yong Tang, was based in Washington D.C., so it was not necessary to bypass the Great Firewall. I saved the web page, with all of its files, in case it is removed. -- Kjkolb 01:19, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
