A Hong Kong publishing house has allegedly suspended its plans to print a book critical of Chinese president Xi Jinping, fearing retribution from mainland authorities after 5 employees of a different publishing house, Mighty Current, who have disappeared - four in October and one on December 30.
The last to vanish from Mighty Current was British co-owner Paul Lee, also called Lee Bo. Lee was last seen at his Hong Kong warehouse. After his disappearance, he informed his wife that he was in mainland China willingly "assisting" with an unspecified investigation, but this remark has caused deep concern across the Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China, where many fear encroaching mainland authority.
