Netherlands-based publishing house Brill recently ended its distribution agreement with a Chinese state-run publisher, after the latter was found to have censored out a paper submitted to one of its journals.

In a statement published on its website on April 25, Brill announced it would no longer partner with China’s Higher Education Press to distribute four of its journals to customers outside China, effective in 2020.
