CCP is wise enough to know such news cannot be censored and censoring it only creates chaos and panic, my guess is it was struggling how to respond. CPC does censor the debates about it, but from it started in last year till now, every development has been reported by the official press, it has been laid low about the deal and prepared for the worst scenario, the news about the negotiations are always simple description of the events, but it never covered up any development.
