Beijing (AFP) Jan 06, 2014

A Chinese tycoon said Monday he is serious about buying the New York Times and wants to work on "rebuilding its credibility and influence" by reforming its award-winning coverage of China.

Chen Guangbiao, listed as one of China's 400 richest people and a man known as much for his publicity stunts as his charitable giving, penned an op-ed in the state-run Global Times newspaper headlined: "I intend to buy The New York Times, please don't take it as a joke".

The New York Times has published several award-winning reports on China, including a 2012 investigation into the family wealth of then-premier Wen Jiabao that was awarded a Pulitzer Prize.

The paper's website has been blocked ever since in China, the world's second-biggest economy, and several of its reporters have had difficulty obtaining visas.

2. Weak in Review

I'll settle for "rebuilding" the Week in Review section, which is really a waste these days.
When Frank Rich left, they gutted the section into the shell it is now.

3. When slave labor is no longer used in China

This guy needs to look at the problems of China first.
