Hu Shuli, editor of the Beijing-based Caijing Magazine, says without fail she is asked some version of the same question each time she travels abroad. “What is taboo for Chinese journalists?”
“Foreign journalists pay too much attention to what is taboo in China” Hu says. “We don’t pay attention to it. There are so many important news stories. If a story’s important enough, we’ll find a way to talk about it.”
“A lot of times we don’t think what we are doing is risky, but at the same time, some risks are worth taking,” Hu says.
Hu says she often confers with managing editor Wang Shou to see if a risky story was worth doing.
