Summary:
"Following criticism from academics, Cambridge University Press has reversed its decision to self-censor a journal distributed in China that referenced topics deemed too sensitive.
The U.K.-based publisher said in a statement Monday that it had 'reluctantly' agreed to remove 315 articles from copies of its journal The China Quarterly that were to be distributed in the country, following a 'clear order' from the importer, but that it had since decided to reinstate the blocked content, which reportedly included topics such as the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, the Cultural Revolution, Tibet and Taiwan."
