【明報專訊】QIU Ziming, a reporter with Economic Observer News, a mainland publication, published a series of articles alleging illegalities connected with the initial public offering of Zhejiang Kan Specialty Material Co. The Suichang County police regarded him as a suspect on the run and issued a warrant for his arrest. Not sooner had the affair come to light than there was a public outcry. Under the pressure of public opinion and on the Lishui public security bureau's instructions, the Suichang police cancelled its order to arrest him. That invalidated the warrant.
