A road worker walks past flowers placed under a bridge where a man drowned on Saturday in his flooded car, on a main road in Beijing on July 27, 2012. Chinese characters on the wraps read "One Rain, One Day of Mourning."
The storm that ravaged Beijing nearly a week ago and killed at least 77 people remains a sensitive topic in China, with a newspaper ordered to cut its coverage and online discussions curtailed, The Associated Press reports.

China sensors its own news? How surprising LOL.
Americans like to complain about Russia, but the Russians have bigger problems to worry about. Think about this: How would you like to have CHINA right on our border?!
The scary thing is that it isn't just political discussion which is censored; the Chinese government censors anything which might in anyway be negative about the country. Imagine when (and I mean when, not if) they have a nuclear power accident.
They would rather save face than save people. It's understandable, considering the supply of people compared to the supply of face.
yeah and with their huge population following the rules of supply and demand as supply skyrockets value... plummets...
I simply wonder why the death toll above says 77 but other articles say 37.
