hina’s best-known ap photo liberal journal has endured, by its pub- lisher’s count, 16 ma- Cjor clashes with authorities since its founding in 1991. It has irritated, and outlasted, two Chinese leaders, he says, but it likely won’t survive Pre- sident Xi Jinping. Du Daozheng, publisher of Yanhuang Chunqiu and a stalwart of the Communist Party’s liberal wing, annou- nced this week that the ma- gazine had been suspended. Earlier, government officials replaced the 93-year-old Du, saying he was due for retire- ment, and seized the magazi- ne’s offices and servers. Analysts say the effective shu- ttering of the magazine shows that Xi’s administration is quashing dissent by going to lengths not seen in decades. Yanhuang Chunqiu, which drew a following by exploring sensitive historical subjec- ts, was run and protected by powerful reform-minded offi- cials and intellectuals within the Communist Party itself. Although the magazine’s former staffers filed a lawsuit Du Daozheng browses his Yanhuang Chunqiu magazine during an interview at his home in Beijing last week to regain control, Du said he announced the publi- cation’s suspension because he feared new issues would go out to its 190,000 subscribers Ouster of liberal Chinese magazine under government control wi- thout his approval.

Congratulations, Dad, we love you!” Trump’s other adult children, Eric, Ivanka, and Tiffany, were standing nearby and they all swayed as “New York, New York” blared over the speakers and attendees celebrated.
