Chinese Order Stops Printing of Memoirs by Ex-Premier

BEIJING — A Hong Kong publisher said Sunday that he was forced to halt the publication of memoirs ostensibly written by Li Peng, the former Chinese prime minister。。。

Bao Pu, the publisher, said the Chinese government warned him earlier this month that publication would violate copyright laws. He halted printing on Friday, as copies rolled off the presses.

Mr. Bao said he could not disclose who gave the order to stop the print run, describing them only as “the relevant authorities.” Previously published reports, however, indicated that China’s Politburo objected to publication of the diaries when Mr. Li submitted them for approval in 2004.

Mr. Bao said he was given a copy of the manuscript by a mysterious middleman and, after extensive due diligence, he determined the writings were those of Mr. Li, who is 81 and reportedly in failing health. He said he tried to obtain permission from Mr. Li but was unable to reach him.
