Chinese media have been urged to strictly follow the official line during the NPC and CPPCC sessions. The authorities have expanded a non-coverage list, which already consisted of hundreds of "politically sensitive" topics or keywords. For example, news Web sites have been ordered not to publish anything critical of the controversial Property Law. The latest issue of Caijing magazine, scheduled to be released on March 5, was still not available at newsstands yesterday - it carried a cover story on the debate over the Property Law and the authorities ordered it to be withdrawn.
