BEIJING — The storm that ravaged Beijing nearly a week ago and killed at least 77 people remains a sensitive topic in China, with a newspaper ordered to cut its coverage and online discussions curtailed. Propaganda officials say that news coverage should focus on positive aspects, such as rescue efforts. Southern Weekly — an influential newspaper known for its edgy reporting — was pressured to kill four pages of storm coverage this week. Online search terms for the newspaper, Beijing's ex- and interim mayors, and the deaths in Fangshan —the hardest-hit district in Beijing — were all blocked on China's most popular microblogging site, Sina Weibo, on Friday. — AP
