Second missing reporter in one week - China

The latest incident, captured by CCTV footage (below), shows reporter Guan Jian being taken away by five men in a hotel in Shanxi.

Guan Jian was reportedly a chief journalist at Networking News, a weekly publication by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He was sent to Taiyan, Shanxi province, to investigate a dodgy property deal.

Similarly, Chinese reporter Li Min was invetigating corruption while she was seized at her home in Beijing.

What a price to pay for investigating graft and wanting to expose those who are expoliting an area of a North China now well-known for corruption.
