Blair accused of 'gold-digging'.
"Tony Blair has been accused of "gold-digging" and "money-sucking" after he reportedly charged £240,000 for giving a speech in China.
The China Youth Daily newspaper said the address had been like "listening to some domestic county or city-level official" and had given "nothing new".
But The Beijing News called the former UK prime minister's visit an "honour".
Mr Blair's spokesman said the speech had been "very well received by the audience in the hall"."
