The latest edition of Caijing, one of China's leading financial publications, has been pulled from the shelves, reports the China Digital Times, based on an unlinkable story in the Wall Street Journal. Suggested is that the ongoing heated debates on the new property law have caused this last-minute action.
From the WSJ:
It wasn't immediately clear who blocked the issue of Caijing -- a move that came during one of the busiest periods in China's political calendar -- or why. But according to a person familiar with the situation, the issue included articles, among others, on the bankruptcy of a government-controlled brokerage firm and on the piece of property-rights legislation, which has drawn vocal criticism.
A revised edition is expected later next week.
Update: China Digital Times has additional information that basically confirms all this was because of the discussions on the property law. More details, but no new developments.
