Journalists open blog to garner support [China]

Two Chinese journalists whose assets were frozen in a 30-million-yuan (3.75 million U.S. dollars) defamation case brought by a Chinese Taiwan-funded company have opened a blog which has drawn tens of thousands of comments. China Business News journalists Weng Bao and Wang You opened a blog on Chinese website www.sina.com.cn to voice their grievances. The first article was posted at 4:10 p.m. Monday and had been read by 69,675 Internet users in the first 26 and a half hours...The Hongfujin Precision Industry Co., the wholly-owned subsidiary of Taiwan's Foxconn that manufactures iPods for U.S.-based Apple Inc, has sued the journalists over a report saying most of its workers have to work standing up 12 hours a day and some fainted with fatigue.
