On May 14, Time magazine’s cover story was the political scandal following former Chongqing Party boss Bo Xilai. The title was the People’s Republic of Scandal, a reference to the People’s Republic of China. According to reports by World News, since then, Chinese authorities have confiscated 62 copies of the magazine that were mailed to Beijing.
5月14日，时代杂志的封面故事是在前重庆党老板（书记）之后的政治丑闻。标题是“丑闻人民共和国”，意指“中华人民共和国”。根据世界新闻报导，从那时侯起，中国有关当局没收了62本被寄到北京的时代杂志。
The Chinese Communist Party tries to maintain the image of unity within the highest ranks of authority. But the scandal surrounding Bo Xilai, which some say may ultimately bring down security chief Zhou Yongkang, has created an international image of dissent with the Communist Party.
中共试图维持当局高阶领导之间的和谐形象，但有些人说，围绕薄西来的丑闻，最终可能会把负责公安的中纪委周永康拉下台，造成共产党不和谐的国际形象。
Because of tough censorship within the Mainland, many Chinese tourists attempt to smuggle in foreign journalism that deals with sensitive topics, such as the Bo Xilai and Wang Lijun incident.
因为中国大陆内严格的新闻检查制度，许多中国观光客试图走私国外涉及敏感主题的新闻刊物，像是薄西来与王立军事件。
The Epoch Times reported that Hong Kong sales toped 20 thousand in the month after the story broke. 80% of sales in Hong Kong were customers from the Mainland.
大纪元时报报导，在薄王事件爆发后，大纪元在香港的销售量达到2万本，80%的顾客来自中国大陆。
But the demand for foreign newspapers was felt as far away as Los Angeles, with one bookstore manager saying Chinese tourists bought up anything mentioning Wang Lijun or Bo Xilai.
但是对于境外报纸的需求，远至洛杉矶也能感受的到，一位书店经理人说，一位中国观光客买下所有提到王立军或薄西来的出版品。
