Censored Biography by American is Bestseller in China
Two biographies of former Chinese President Jiang Zemin have been published but only one is availible in stores in mainlaind China. Political Struggles in China's Reform Era, by Yang Jisheng, a journalist for China Daily, paints Zemin's struggles against Communist hardliners and his opposition to the Tiananmen Square Massacre. It has been banned by the Chinese government. The Man Who Changed China: The Life and Legacy of Jiang Zemin," by Robert Lawrence Kuhn, an investment banker, is seen largely as a pro-business fawning hagiography which has been embraced and heavily promoted by the Chinese government, even though they censored parts of it before publication. The Washington Post reports.
