FILE - In this Tuesday, Jan. 25, 2011 file photo, a protester kicks a tear gas canister at a demonstration in Cairo, Egypt. The protests in Egypt are about free elections and overthrowing a longtime dictator? Not according to China's state media, which is painting them as the kind of chaos that comes with Western-style democracy. Newspapers in China can only publish accounts of the protests from the official Xinhua News Service, a policy often invoked on stories the government considers sensitive. Censors have blocked the ability to search the term "Egypt" on microblogging sites, and user comments that draw parallels to China have been deleted from Internet forums.
