Page "China Youth Daily" Paragraph 6

Freezing Point ( 冰点 pinyin: Bing diǎn ), a four-page weekly supplement of China Youth Daily was temporarily shut down by the Chinese government in early 2006, due to an anti-censorship letter posted by columnist Li Datong.

According to the Washington Post, government censors accused the section of "' viciously attacking the socialist system ' and condemned a recent article in it that criticized the history textbooks used in Chinese middle schools.

" Pressure from retired high-level party officials and senior scholars forced the government to allow publication again, but without its former editor and top investigative reporter, according to the New York Times.
