No, that actually happened. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-20518929

BBC mistook Dr Kai-Fu Lee (Li Kaifu in the page) for a freelance journalist, though he is/was quite outspoken at times.

I've very disappointed in the Internet at not being able to find scans of that 55-page photo spread.

> the Internet at not being able to find scans of that 55-page photo spread.

Because the scans of the paper don't exist, it wasn't in the printed media, it's a 55-photos slideshow in an online English news site, and it was with the quotations from the Onion without any commentary:

Somebody had fun selecting 55 photos for the slideshow.

Now I MUST have the other 54 photos :D

Isn't there an archive.org or something for that? what's the original link?

FYI, this is the only active archive.org entry that is valid for this url.

Curiously it looks like they switched(redirected) to en.people.cn from english.people.com.cn just days after this article was originally released. Not sure if this is an issue with archive.org and 301 redirects or if this actually occurred on this date.

Interesting either way.

I could not find instances of any of the other pages correctly archived, sorry m8.

I case anyone is interested and doesn't want to transcribe from a screenshot, this was the original url of the article: http://english.people.com.cn/90777/8035568.html

I haven't heard of anything like what is mentioned in this article from my friends/classmates in China. Usually news like this will show up in my WeChat groups in no time.

I am NOT trying to prove or disprove the credibility of the article.

Also, as you can see from the article, it is common to make fun of the government and criticize its policies in the Internet in China. That part is true.
