The case of WikiLeaks is once again hitting the headlines. That #39;s after the US National Archive blocked any search attempts containing the name of the whistleblowing website. The move, on the recommendation of Washington, was said to be protecting classified information. But Loz Kaye, leader of the UK Pirate Party, believes what happened is a clear sign of censorship.

The use of "secrecy, censorship and bullying" to silence dissenting voices in China must end under the country's incoming leader, the Dalai Lama says.

President-in-waiting Xi Jinping will have "no alternative" but to accept political change over the coming years, the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader told reporters in Yokohama, near Tokyo on Monday.

"Now Hu Jintao era passed. Now Xi Jinping (is) becoming the president. I think there is no alternative except there is some political change," the Dalai Lama said on the third day of a 12-day stay in Japan.

"Hu Jintao started to build harmonious society, stable society. So for stable society, I think gap (between the) rich and (the) poor must be reduced.

"Also you need an independent judiciary system, free press, rule of law. These are very, very important.

"So the goal, harmony, wonderful. Stability, wonderful. But use of secrecy, censorship and bullying... there is something wrong in their system," said the saffron-robed monk.

"I think to create a genuine harmony... you need openness."

China denounces the Dalai Lama as a "splittist" seeking an independent Tibet, accusations he has repeatedly denied.

China needs to change: Dalai Lama

YOKOHAMA, Japan (AFP) - The use of "secrecy, censorship and bullying" to silence dissenting voices in China must end under the country's incoming leader, the Dalai Lama said on Monday.

President-in-waiting Xi Jinping will have "no alternative" but to accept political change over the coming years, the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader told reporters in Yokohama, near Tokyo.

"Now Hu Jintao era passed. Now Xi Jinping (is) becoming the president. I think there is no alternative except there is some political change," the Dalai Lama said on the third day of a 12-day stay in Japan.

China denounces the Dalai Lama as a "splittist" seeking an independent Tibet, accusations he has repeatedly denied.

At a closed-doors congress beginning Thursday, Beijing's power players will anoint a new chief for the next 10 years. His regime will have to address growing anger over graft as well as challenges from a vocal band of dissidents and rights activists.

Vice president Xi is widely expected to be promoted to Communist Party general-secretary this week and then state president next year, succeeding Hu in a 10-yearly leadership change.

Tianjin, whose Communist party secretary Zhang Gaoli is one of the seven men most likely to get a seat on the new politburo standing committee due to be unveiled at the 18th party congress starting on Thursday, is developing a replica of Manhattan to which it aims to attract global banks.

But local government officials explaining a mock-up of Yujiapu, the new district on the site of a former fishing village, last week said they did not know of any foreign bank that had committed to coming. Meanwhile, some of Chinas leading internet firms are relocating their censorship operations to Tianjin as they battle soaring labor costs.

Tianjins tale illustrates Chinas rapidly changing economic landscape but also puts a question mark over the reform and economic policy credentials of the countrys incoming leaders.

Mr. Zhang has been characterized as a financial reformer, mainly because he served in the southern province of Guangdong, known for piloting economic reforms. Two people familiar with the partys discussions over leadership posts said Mr. Zhang could receive an important economic portfolio in the team that will rule China for the coming decade.

But while Tianjin, which he has run since 2007, has failed to boost Mr. Zhangs credentials, it has become the first choice for internet companies as they follow textile, toy, and electronics manufacturers away from larger cities in pursuit of lower wages.

Youku Tudou, Chinas largest online video company by revenue, is considering moving its censorship operations from Beijing 170km to the coastal city of 10m people.
