Oh, the Irony!
From the Scotsman:
China bans Briton’s sensitive newsletter
| A Briton who has spent years trying to convince foreigners that China is not as repressive as Western media often portray it to be has been ordered to stop publication of his politically sensitive newsletter.
China’s media censors and security officials zealously nip in the bud any threats — real or perceived — to stability. Now Beijing authorities have threatened to deport newsletter editor Nick Young and ban him from visiting China for five years, Young said in an e-mail without naming what he called “credible sources” for the information. About a dozen officials from the Beijing Public Security Bureau and the Beijing Statistical Bureau visited the office of the newsletter, China Development Brief, on Wednesday last week and accused Young of “conducting unauthorised surveys”. Young has since been questioned by police responsible for supervising foreigners in China. “I have constantly strived … to encourage foreigners to approach China constructively, looking for ways to cooperate rather than ways to merely criticise,” Young wrote in the e-mail. A colleague had posted online, without Young’s knowledge, news that Beijing authorities had ordered Young to stop publication of the Chinese edition of the non-profit monthly which monitors the development of Chinese civil society. |
So much for cooperation.
bwahahahaha!!
