Luisetta Mudie

ESWN weighs up the points made by Guangdong-based academic Yuan Weishi in his article on the official view of China's recent imperial history, and those made in a critique of his view published in the first issue of Freezing Point to hit the newsstands since its suspension ended. The cutting-edge supplement to the China Youth Daily was suspended Jan. 24 following Yuan's article, and former editors Li Datong and Lu Yuegang have been transferred to the paper's news research department.
