Beijing Court Clears Newspapers of Defaming 'World Luxury Association'

(Beijing) – A court in the capital threw out a lower court's ruling that found two major newspapers guilty of defaming a company claiming to be a leading researcher of the luxury products industry.

The No. 3 Intermediate People's Court ruled on November 9 that articles by the Southern Weekend newspaper and the Beijing News about the World Luxury Association were factual and did not unduly hurt its reputation.
