“Li Yanhe had published books by Chinese dissidents and on subjects that otherwise would have been banned by Beijing. Li, the organization says, is not only a publisher but also a radio host with Radio Taiwan International. The news of Li Yanhe’s detention in China will be watched carefully by the International Publishers Association‘s (IPA) Freedom to Publish committee, chaired by Kristenn Einarsson and directed by James Taylor. More coverage from Publishing Perspectives on the Taiwan market is here, more on China is here, more on the case of Gui Minhai is here, and more on IPA’s Prix Voltaire is here. Publishing Perspectives is the International Publishers Association’s world media partner.
