So,
Starting this Monday I have been curiously awaiting news of exactly who was involved in the fatal crash of a Ferrari 458 in Beijing which apparently resulted in the search subject of "Ferrari" being blocked. I tried to Google Ferrari a few times and indeed, something was up. The few articles I found on the matter suggested that the dead driver was one of the famous "princelings," and had two female passengers in his two seat car.
This morning I found this article suggesting that the driver of the Ferrari was in fact the illegitimate son of Jia Qinglin, a member of the Politburo Standing Committee (basically as much of a somebody as you can possibly be in China). Its been an interesting couple of weeks in China news.

Ferrari 458 Italia Accident Censored by Chinese Government | AutoGuide.com News
A horrible accident involving a Ferrari 458 Italia Spyder occurred in Beijing, leaving the driver dead and his two passengers seriously injured — both female.
While that may not be groundbreaking news in and of itself, the Chinese government is moving quickly to censor any internet searches involving the word “Ferrari” as a result of the accident.
It’s believed that the man behind the wheel of the 458 was the illegitimate son of Jia Qinglin, member of the Politburo Standing Committee (one of China’s leading Communist Parties). Details of the crash are quickly being deleted from the Internet in addition to the censorship of the keyword search.
Regardless of who was behind the wheel, the wreck is devastating and we hope the passengers make a speedy recovery.
