From The New York Review of Books, via A Glimpse of the World blog:
He Qinglian, the economist and journalist whose book China’s Pitfall[1] exposed the ways in which officials in control of state-owned resources used their power to make huge unearned profits during China’s economic boom in the 1990s, has now written an account of China’s press. It concentrates on two questions that the bad-food story raises: How is real news suppressed? And what is the effect on popular thinking of the political drivel the government offers the public instead?
The first two chapters of He Qinglian’s book were translated into English by Human Rights in China at here (PDF).
