‘Dangerous Ideas’ banned in China

The book What Is Your Dangerous Idea?: Today’s Leading Thinkers on the Unthinkable has been blocked from being published in China. The Chinese authorities give the following reasoning excuse:

[it] can’t be published in China because some content is not accordant to Chinese regulations, for example, some content about religious, soul. [sic]

Whatever one might accuse the Chinese government of, freethinking obviously isn’t part of the problem.

Note to self: you still haven’t got around to buying this one yet, have you?

Happy (Chinese) New Year!
