Fear of FEERPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, April 22, 2008 4:26 PM
 An unconfirmed rumor from a media industry source says that the April 18, 2008 issue of the print edition of the Asian Wall Street Journal was banned or had page 7 removed by CNPIEC (中图), the state entity that controls the import of most periodicals and books into China. What was on page 7? The ad for the Far Eastern Economic Review reproduced at left (click to enlarge). On a different subject, this is currently the top story on FEER's website:

 Tales of Old Hong Kong: The new Tales of Old Hong Kong compiled by Derek Sandhaus is available at Earnshaw Books.
Diamond Hill by Feng Chi-shun: Feng's memoir Diamond Hill describes an era of gambling and gangsters, Suzie Wong and squatter villages, fires and food stalls, and the Kowloon Walled City and its white powder. "A time when people were poor, but life was rich," he says. The world that he grew up in no longer exists, but his book - the first ever on the Diamond Hill refugee settlement, in either Chinese or English - offers a candid picture of what life was like for most Hong Kong residents in the 1950s.
William A. Callahan's China: The Pessoptimist Nation: China: The Pessoptimist Nation shows how the heart of Chinese foreign policy is not a security dilemma, but an identity dilemma. Through a careful analysis of how Chinese people understand their new place in the world, the book charts how Chinese identity emerges through the interplay of positive and negative feelings in a dynamic that intertwines China's domestic and international politics.

Classic Danwei posts
+ Private argot in the public sphere (2007.04): YWeekend (青年周末) comments on slang in subtitles. Wu Fei (吴非) writes about gang language and cultural revolution slang. + Why we aren't building a "harmonious Danwei" (2005.09): Liu Hongbo (刘洪波) looks back at the village feuds of his youth and suggests that a 'harmonious society' is not something that local governments can necessarily construct. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.

Comments on Fear of FEER
The page and the ad were in the subscription copy delivered to our office by CNPIEC. Of course, that's a small sample. And our April FEER hasn't arrived yet.
Wow. After finishing "Imperial Grunts" by Robert Kaplan, I knew the Mongolians were definitely not big fans of their benefic Han Chinese neighbors, but now this...
I say it's a good ban.
These stupid Mongolian nationalists dont know what they are facing
Ultra-Nationalist scumbags can be found in any country. Aryan Nation in the US, neo-Nazis in Germany, skinheads in Russia, foreigner-beating Chinese protesters and some "blue Mongolians".
So?
But what was on page 8 which also would have been missing, along with the corresponding pages on the same sheet at the back of the paper?
And what's on pages 9 and 10 in the April 22 edition. Just had a look in the shop and they're missing (and, of course 23/24).
I travelled around Mongolia for a month back in 2006. Our driver held very anti-Chinese sentiments, especially in regards to infrastructure construction and high local unemployment.
However, Mongolia (at least based on my very limted observations) doesn't seem to contain the capacity to engage in it's own indigenous construction efforts.
B:I don't think the driver held 'anti-Chinese sentiments'? Maybe he held anti-Chinese government view for explanation that he was not satified with the infrasture construciton and high local unemployment.That's sound more resonable.
uh, click on the goddamn image. There's articles criticizing the Beijing Olympics and China's Tibet policy.
Thanks so much for pointing that out, Inst.
cat, it's possible, of course, that there was nothing on page 8, so it was removed under consumer-protection rules governing printing mistakes. Page 7's disappearance was just an unfortunate side-effect.
Ah... I've just followed Inst's advice and clicked on the image. I see now.
@11,
Well, I don't recall anyone named "11" in the jeep my friends and I rented. The driver was very clear...on numerous occasions.
