Wikileaks is a site for publishing anonymous leaks and sensitive documents, supporting activism and whistle-blowing.

Last week two whistleblowers from the International Energy Agency alleged that it has deliberately upgraded its estimate of the world's oil supplies in order not to frighten the markets.

The provisions include state protection for whistle-blowers, as well as rewards for bringing legitimate cases - a strong incentive in an increasingly litigious society such as China's.
