Earlier this month it was reported that, at the request of China’s rulers, Microsoft shut down the Web site of a Chinese blogger that was maintained on a Microsoft service called MSN Spaces. The blogger, Zhao Jing, had been reporting on a strike by journalists at The Beijing News that followed the dismissal of the newspaper’s independent-minded editor.
据报道本月月初，应中国统治者要求，微软关闭了一家建立在MSN分享空间上的中国博客网站。博客版主赵静（音译）此前报导了《新京报》记者的罢工事件，这次罢工的起因是该报思想独立的编辑遭到解雇。
