I want to know the answer to the following question:
What method did the Chinese government use to ease the boycott situation?
All the background I'm provided with is that "According to the Washington Times on April 15, however, the Chinese government was attempting to "calm the situation" through censorship: "All comments posted on popular Internet forum Sohu.com relating to a boycott of Carrefour have been deleted.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
