On March 21, 2010, the staff of Science Fiction World issued an open letter expressing opinions about agency director Comrade Li Chang and requesting that supervisory departments conduct an investigation and replace the director.

At 9:40 am on April 1, the Science Fiction World agency held a meeting of the leadership during which Li Dayong, the vice party secretary, director of human resources, and commissioner of discipline and inspection at the Sichuan Association for Science and Technology, announced the decision of the SAST's party members group:

1. Li Chang is suspended from his positions as director and editor-in-chief, and day-to-day agency operations are turned over to vice-director Liu Chengshu. Comrade Li Chang will cooperate with handling any remaining publication license issues.

2. It is hoped that the agency staff will look at the big picture to guarantee that the magazines will come out on time so as not to disappoint readers.

3. The next step is to investigate and verify each of the issues brought up.
