China continues closing internet sites

Chinese authorities have shut down an online forum discussing anti-corruption protests, and a website serving ethnic Mongolians, international groups report.
China routinely shuts or blocks websites operating beyond government control. Last month Chinese officials issued rules banning Internet news services from inciting illegal assemblies, marches and demonstrations and prohibiting activities on behalf of unauthorized civil groups.
U.S.-based Radio Free Asia said that a discussion forum that covered protests in the village of Taishi had been closed.
Residents of Taishi, which is near the manufacturing hub of Guangzhou, had demanded the removal of the village chief for allegations of embezzlement and fraud.
Several villagers were reportedly injured in a clash with police last month as they tried to prevent officials from seizing accounting ledgers that they said contained evidence of the corruption.
