U.S. tweaks China over web-cancellation diplomat

WASHINGTON — The United States is perfect China for his line blockade of American Ambassador's name.
Search by name of Ambassador Jon Huntsman in Chinese on a popular microblogging site called Sina Weibo were met with a message Friday that said results were available due to an unspecified "laws, regulations and policies."

Huntsman, a Republican, is leaving his post and is seen as a potential competitor of the White House in 2012.

State Department spokesman said P.J. Crowley in a Twitter post that "it is remarkable Saturday" that, even before leaving Beijing, Huntsman, "China has made him disappear from the Internet".

China apparently expanded its Internet police after online calls for protests that swept the Middle East.
