China replaces top censor following furor over ban

Somebody writes “From The International Herald Tribune: The head of China’s General Administration of Press and Publications has been removed from his post, state media reported Tuesday, following an outcry earlier this year over the administration’s alleged decision to ban eight books. The move comes after noted Chinese author Zhang Yihe issued a public statement in January blasting the administration for allegedly announcing at a closed-door meeting that one of her books about Peking Opera as well as seven other titles by other writers were banned. The ban was never formally announced.”
