Xinhua is the official news agency in China. A senior official recently gave a speech admitting that Xinhua's primary mission isn't to report the news, but to maintain peace and harmony and social stability.

Workers cleaned him up, sealed the capsule again, and then when the cameras were rolling opened up the capsule as if they were doing it for the first time.Xinhua Official Shares Details of China’s News Cleanups - NYTimes.com
