China clears car attack memorial as government scrambles to respondReuters, ZHUHAI, ChinaAuthorities in the southern Chinese city of Zhuhai removed wreaths, candles and bottles of alcohol, offerings laid at the scene of the deadliest mass killing in the country in a decade, as the government scrambled to respond and censor the outrage online. People earlier today remove flower bouquets placed outside the sports center where a deadly car attack took place in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province. Other state media, such as China Daily's Chinese-language Web site, also prominently displayed the news of Xi's Peru trip. The current affairs part of China Daily's Web site and the local area page did not mention the incident either. Media backed by the local government yesterday night published a 1,000-word write-up of a local officials' meeting on the killing.
