Looks as if another western publishing house, Springer Nature, is appeasing the Chinese regime by effectively censoring sensitive issues such as Tibet, Falun Gong, the so-called Cultural Revolution and human rights from its journal platform.It is also reported to be blocking academic articles that may offend dictator Xi Jinping and his cronies. At the same time as applying such censorship we gather the publisher is seeking the english rights to ‘Xi Jinping Tells A Story’ a hagiography of the Chinese meglomaniac.
A petition has been launched against publishers who censor to gain access to markets
