Yet another interesting story coming out of China. It shows the government's desire to control the population's views and minds, but on the other hand, the interesting thing is that when the fake is discovered, rather than shutting down that internet forum, arresting the instigators and bringing down the curtain, they instead not only admitted it, but apologized publicly and fired the guy. Not your typical course of action for a controlling government interested in keeping the population perfectly under its thumb.

- what Government doesn't want to do that ?
Oh, it's called leading in the polls - honest
And it's "shaping" the views through spin and not controlling them, really.
