The Chinese edition of Rolling Stone magazine ground to a halt after China’s media watchdogs stopped publication of the recently launched Mandarin version, blaming a legal technicality.
The ban came three weeks after the first copies hit the newsstands to widespread acclaim. An initial print run of 125,000 quickly sold out.
The Shanghai bureau of the Government Administration of Press and Publications (GAPP), which keeps a close eye on new magazines for signs of dissent, said Rolling Stone had not fulfilled all the procedures to publish.
