Unhappy with the facts that Chinese are not happy, Chinese government censors UN's World Happiness Report. ›
The United Nation’s recently-released World Happiness Report (PDF) listed China as the 112th happiest country out of 156 countries. A number of China-based news websites re-posted the report, the first of which was Xinhua.net.
The Ministry of Truth was not happy: publishing the report, or any references to it, is now banned in China.
Via BoingBoing
China was ranked 112th of 156 countries surveyed (there are about 194 countries in the world [depends who does the counting]). It’s quite common for China’s Central Propaganda Department to censor the news. More on that, here.
