I assume most people know that sensitive topics in China are often automatically rejected if they trigger a keyword filter. Sometimes, they’re deleted by human censors employed by Internet companies. Now, the censorship reaches digital PR industry in China!

According to the article, organizations or individuals claiming to be PR agencies are offering to delete such negative contents on request, asking for fees ranging from RMB10,000 ($1400) for major portals such as Sina.com and Sohu.com, to RMB1,000 ($140) for local Web sites.
