China: Information on Hong Kong publication Cheng Ming including its availability in Shanghai and Quangzhou, type of articles, whether it was banned or censored by the PRC and, if so, the consequences for sharing a copy

 

Little information on the Hong Kong publication Cheng Ming could be found among the sources consulted by the Research Directorate.

According to the World's News Media, Cheng Ming is a monthly current-affairs magazine published in Chinese (1991, 218). Information as to whether it was available in Shanghai and Quangzhou, the types of articles, whether it was ever banned or censored in the PRC and, if so, the consequences of sharing a copy could not be found among the sources consulted by the Research Directorate.

This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the Research Directorate within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. Please find below the list of sources consulted in researching this Information Request.
