"The world’s oldest publishing house, Cambridge University Press, has been
accused of being an accomplice to the Communist party’s bid to whitewash
Chinese history after it agreed to purge hundreds of politically-sensitive
articles from its Chinese website at the behest of Beijing’s censors.

"The publisher confirmed on Friday
<https://www.theguardian.com/education/2017/aug/18/cambridge-university-press-blocks-readers-china-quarterly>
that it had complied with a Chinese request to block more than 300 articles
from the China Quarterly
<https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/china-quarterly>, a leading China
studies journal, in order “to ensure that other academic and educational
materials we publish remain available to researchers and educators” in
China."
