Chinese People's Daily plagiarises the INQUIRER

MAYBE WE CAN'T FIGHT the People's Liberation Army (PLA) or take on over one billion people but we can accuse the People's Daily of plagiarising the INQUIRER.

Because that's exactly what it has done.

Word for word, phrase for phrase and without any payment at all, or even a humble link, we can assure you.

Here, for example, is a story we wrote Saturday entitled China-Microsoft deal prompts perjury questions.

And here's a screenshot of the People's Daily revealing a word for word plagiarism of your soaraway INQUIRER.

At the bottom of the story it says the source is "agencies". We trust our cheque is in the post.

Is there anything about the phrase "you now owe the INQUIRER a lot of money" that the People's Daily doesn't understand, we wonder?

Here's the link. Golly, it's even reproduced our typos -- it's jeopardise not jeapordise.

And just in case it is mysteriously disappeared, here's what we captured earlier.
