AsiaPundit has been giving the CCP and Microsoft much criticism over the censorship of blogger Michael Anti. AsiaPundit would now like to take a pause for a moment of schaudenfreud. Tiananmen Square massacre architect Li Peng’s autobiography has been censored.:

One thing that Li Peng has wanted to write about is to clarify and defend his role in ordering martial law in May of 1989, that led to the military conflicts throughout Beijing in early June, known locally as 64. If you were hoping that Li Peng’s new diary would shed light on the details, rather than just the mentality, you will be disappointed. I’m pretty sure that this is not the decision of a media censor, but a decision by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, who have to clear the memoirs of former members of the Standing Committee.

The status of Li’s ghost writer are currently unknown
