M.A's commentary:
This statement of Chinese support for Greece didn't seem to appear to receive coverage worldwide.
Indigo's commentary:
This isn't actually a blocked article. I'm blogging about this because after reading it, I was quite surprised that I hadn't seen it on the BBC or another large news source. China offering to help Greece stay within the Euro zone is a major step for the Asian giant. China is generally a more withdrawn player when it comes to Western countries, so China offering to support Greece is big! It demonstrates that China really is moving into a position of global power and it is willing to cooperate in area's outside its regional sphere of influence.
Often in Western media, only the bad qualities of China and other communist countries are portrayed. However, China is increasingly becoming a more fair helpful state, and I think that deserves press. In reference to the above article, I think that China's assistance might be one of the only avenues left to Greece after the referendum vote.
Read the article, and let me know what you think!
