BEIJING—A British academic publisher has dropped more than 80 journals from its offerings in China at the regime’s request, including the Asian Studies Review which had content deemed “inappropriate” by authorities.
They are the latest journals to be restricted since Chinese importers of foreign publications were told by authorities last year they must verify that products are legal.
