Boxun reports that just after the World Media Forum in Beijing concluded on October 10, Communist Party General Secretary Hu Jintao pledged to the international media community: "The Chinese government will protect the right of foreign media to conduct interviews, and will encourage and protect domestic media's watchdog role in order to promote the people's right to information, free expression, oversight and political participation." Hu's voice had barely stilled when close to 100 staff members of China's leading business magazine--Caijing--resigned en masse. Everyone knows the face of Caijing, talented reporter and editor Hu Shuli. But the real power behind the throne is the son of former NPC vice-chairman Wang Bingqian, Wang Boming. As a result of both Wang Boming's and Politburo member Wang Qishan's support, Hu Shuli and Caijing have been able to play an important watchdog role over the large public listings of Chinese business groups. Other events they covered closely include the Shishou incident and this July's violence in Xinjiang. The magazine's influence has become very significant, this is apparent to all. So why is Hu Shuli leaving? It is due to pressure from the Central Propaganda Department to stop reporting on official corruption.
