The site, www.anti-CNN.com, claims to have been created by a Beijing citizen following anti-Chinese riots in Tibet.
“The website's harsh criticism of the foreign media corresponds exactly with the Chinese government's assertions nowadays,” Japan's Sankei Shimbun newspaper reported.
“This website was reportedly created in a short time by a 23-year-old Chinese man with money out of his own pocket. However, foreign correspondents stationed in Beijing are voicing the suspicion that anti-CNN.com may be a semi-government-made website, because it is ‘made too nicely’ for a website created in such a way,” the newspaper reported.
The suspicions were fueled when a Chinese government spokesman insisted the site was spontaneously set up by a Chinese citizen angered over media coverage.
