Beijing, November 16

Chinese websites are censoring "Kim Fatty the Third," a nickname widely used to disparage North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, after officials from his country reportedly conveyed their displeasure in a meeting with their Chinese counterparts.

Searches for Chinese words “Jin San Pang” on the search engine Baidu and microblogging platform Weibo returned no results this week. The nickname pokes fun at Kim’s status as the third generation to rule the world’s only hereditary communist dynasty. — AP
