Yanhuang Chunqiu
Yanhuang Chunqiu (Chinese: 炎黄春秋; pinyin: Yánhuáng Chūnqiū), sometimes translated as China Through the Ages, is a liberal reformist monthly journal in the People's Republic of China,[1] created in 1991. Its foundation was largely due to the effort of General Xiao Ke.[2] The current editor-in-chief is Du Daozheng (杜导正).[3] His predecessor Yang Jisheng (杨继绳) was forced to resign in July 2015.[3] In connection with his resignation, Yang published two letters: the first explained the reasons for his resignation to the members of Yanhuang Chunqiu and its readers; the second was sent to the General Administration of Press and Publication and criticized intensified government control of the journal's content.[4]
In July 2010, Yanhuang Chunqiu published a memoir by retired Politburo member Yang Rudai praising Zhao Ziyang. It marked a rare break of the long-standing taboo in China against mentioning the former leader since he was ousted after the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989.[5]
In January 2013, Yanhuang Chunqiu's website was temporarily shutdown by the Chinese government after it published an editorial urging the implementation of constitutional rights.[6]
