Reuters reported that the new Guangdong Provincial Party Committee Secretary Hu Chunhua personally intervened to mediate the deadlock over the New Year's Address incident at Southern Weekend.

Reuters quoted people close to the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China as saying that Hu Chunhua personally intervened in the current impasse to provide a solution.

According to this plan, newspaper employees will end the strike and resume normal work. The newspaper will be published as usual this week; there will be no settlement of accounts after the fall.

Reuters reports that this may be an encouraging signal for media freedom in China.

Earlier, some editors and editors of Southern Weekend went on strike to protest that the newspaper's New Year's message calling for constitutional reform was censored by the Propaganda Department of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China and then withdrawn. Instead, Tuo Zhen, the Propaganda Department of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, issued a New Year's message praising the party's achievements in his name.

This incident caused a huge public turmoil in China, and the direction of this incident is regarded as a touchstone for China's new leaders in their approach to reform.

Mediation Plan

Reuters quoted this person close to the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China as saying: "Hu Chunhua personally intervened to solve this problem."

" By showing that he has the courage and ability He scored points for his personal image by solving complex problems. In addition, he also used this to convey a relatively open message. "

The report stated that it was not immediately possible to confirm that Hu Chunhua's intervention led to the agreement with the "Southern Weekend" staff, and the latter may not be able to express his position immediately due to the agreement.

But two news channels close to Southern Weekend said that reporters saw this as a victory for Southern Weekend journalists.

"Official resigned"

The three sources mentioned above all confirmed to Reuters that according to the relevant agreement, "Southern Weekend" editor-in-chief Huang Can will be fired.

People close to the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee also revealed that Hu Chunhua also hinted that Tuo Zhen, the head of the Propaganda Department of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, would also step down, but for the sake of official face, he would not be allowed to leave immediately.

Sources say that the editorial staff of Southern Weekend will return to work, and the weekly report will be published on time on Thursday.

Earlier, about a dozen supporters of the Chinese authorities came outside the headquarters of Southern Weekend on Tuesday (January 8) and expressed their desire to speak for the party. They staged confrontational protests with demonstrators who opposed official control of Southern Weekend. Guangdong police did not intervene in the protests but stopped the conflict.
