From The Straits Times, via AsiaMedia (link):
China has quietly imposed a moratorium on licensing new foreign magazines for publication, an official disclosed yesterday, in a possible blow to companies that hope to break into the booming Chinese media market.
The General Administration of Press and Publication (GAPP) had created an “internal rule” last year that withheld approval for foreign magazines to enter China for the time being, a director with the agency said.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said only science and technology magazines would be allowed to develop Chinese versions.
