So, obviously books denying the Nanjing Massacre, promoting fascism and other things are banned, but where’s the general line. For instance, the book Beijing comrades is banned (although it wasn’t published by an actual publishing house, rather it was distributed online), and Peacock cries was banned before the author won in court and was allowed to publish it (after removing the references to real life things like the three gorges dam).
So basically is there a concensus on what you’re able to get away with or is it inconsistent with general throughlines of don’t try to create disruption or interfere with irl things?
List of banned books by country. It is a pretty common occurrence to ban books that do not align with the ideologies of the state. It happens all the time in the southern states of the US. That being said here is a link to a very very simplified history of banned books in China.
