Chinese Censorship with a Gluestick

The China Journal blog of the Wall Street Journal cites a new kind of censorship in that country. It seems that pages of controversial maps, artwork and coverage of dissent in the May issue of National Geographic’s English edition were glued together in a new sort of censorship. Nat Geo is still trying to make sense of the event:

Beth Foster, the magazine’s director of communications, says, “It appears that someone connected with local magazine distribution in Asia glued together a few pages of the May English-language issues of National Geographic magazine that were shipped into China. We have not gotten to the bottom of the specifics of this isolated activity, but we have had no communication from or with the Chinese government about this matter.”
