That was Beijing and Shanghai

The creator of the English language magazines That’s Shanghai and That’s Beijing, both very good sources of information and entertainment for expats living in those cities, has apparently had control of the magazines wrested from him and is now airing his gripes in a Prospect magazine article entitled That’s China. The tagline:
After seven years building up a magazine empire in China, I had it stolen by the state.
Ouch. That sucks. The article includes some great little stories about all the legal and procedural hurdles Mark and the magazine staff faced in order to put out their magazine. It is worth a read. a few more related links:
