CHINA--INTERNAL: PROPAGANDA-PUNISHMENT OF JOURNALIST

 The Beijing Xicheng District People’s Court on June 27, 2016, ordered Hong Zhenkuai, the former Chief Editor of the influential political magazine Yanhuang Chunqiu to apologise for challenging an official account of history. Hong Zhenkuai cast doubt on the story of the “Five Warriors of Mount Langyashan”, who allegedly jumped off a cliff while fighting the Japanese during World War II rather than surrender. He said two had not. Their two sons who were the plaintiffs, Ge Changsheng and Song Fubao, 'along with those of the Chinese people as a whole ' said that he had “tarnished their reputation and honour” and hurt their feelings.
