Southern Metropolis Daily
In 2008, Sima waged an Internet war against Chinese commentators and intellectuals he says have hijacked this year's national dramas to undermine Communist Party rule and patriotic values. He targeted two of the nation's most widely read and combative newspapers, "Southern Weekend" and "Southern Metropolis Daily", accusing them of promoting "Westernization" and liberal beliefs. He also accused the paper of writing favorably of Amnesty International and other groups critical of the Beijing Olympics and China's authoritarian government.
