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，時代雜誌的封面故事是在前重慶黨老闆（書記）之後的政治醜聞。標題是「醜聞人民共和國」，意指「中華人民共和國」。根據世界新聞報導，從那時侯起，中國有關當局沒收了62本被寄到北京的時代雜誌。
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.
中共試圖維持當局高階領導之間的和諧形象，但有些人說，圍繞薄西來的醜聞，最終可能會把負責公安的中紀委周永康拉下台，造成共產黨不和諧的國際形象。
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.
因為中國大陸內嚴格的新聞檢查制度，許多中國觀光客試圖走私國外涉及敏感主題的新聞刊物，像是薄西來與王立軍事件。
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.
大紀元時報報導，在薄王事件爆發後，大紀元在香港的銷售量達到2萬本，80%的顧客來自中國大陸。
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.
但是對於境外報紙的需求，遠至洛杉磯也能感受的到，一位書店經理人說，一位中國觀光客買下所有提到王立軍或薄西來的出版品。
