Sincere flattery in China

We were interested to read the HK Standard's interview with Caijing editor-in-chief Hu Shuli. This feisty lady runs the gamut of journalistic and political challenges in trying to keep Caijing out in front of the misdemeanors of China's business leaders.

One thing that caught our eye was that, just like their international counterparts, it seems that trademark theft plagues China's better domestic titles.

Weekend Standard - Pushing the boundaries: "But there's keen competition in the business press as well. Key competitors include the Economic Observer, 21st Century Economic Herald and Di Yi Caijing Ri Bao. Caijing is so successful that it even has its own knock-off competitor, New Caijing."

The publishers of Fortune have been fighting a court battle in Guangzhou for some time over the New Fortune magazine published there.
