"...China's Central Propaganda Department has ordered newspaper journalists to leave the city where the company considered responsible for a nationwide milk powder poisoning scandal has its headquarters.
The IFJ has learned that the central government has escalated restrictions on reporting on the scandal by ordering journalists from at least four newspapers, including Southern Metropolis Daily, to leave Shijiazhuang, Hebei province, where milk products company Sanlu is based.
The Central Propaganda Department has also allegedly deleted articles relating to the case from websites reporting on the scandal, in which milk powder contaminated with the industrial chemical melamine is said to have caused the deaths of four babies and resulted in illness among at least 53,000 children."
