Bo Xi Lai Trial Transcripts - Weibo Users Make Their Own Revisions

Completely missing the point that censorsing court transcripts when you are trying to appear as transparent as possible, Quartz has a report on what exactly was left out of the official record on the last day of the trial of Bo Xi Lai.

Removing references to Bo receiving orders from superiors regarding the forging of Wang Li Jun's medical certificate, and threats from the disciplinary commission, official transcripts were published on the Jinan Intermediary Court's Weibo account.  Not content with the official version of events, Chinese netizens made their own revisions.
