China shuts leftist Web sites as political strife continues

http://j.mp/HepFdz  (Washington Post)

   "The crackdown was the latest step in an ongoing tightening in the
    three weeks since Bo's dismissal, as China's rulers struggle to
    contain the public fallout from the country's most serious political
    crisis in decades. Web search terms have been blocked, sites shut
    down, and some of Bo's past associates have been removed from their
    posts and placed under investigation."
