Amazon Censoring Book Reviews For Chinese President

MediaTricks | December 31, 2021

The Times reports: "Amazon agreed to allow only five-star reviews for Xi’s book in China". Amazon removed poor reviews of Xi Jinping’s book The Governance of China following a request from Beijing.

Amazon quietly removed criticism of President Xi’s books by scrubbing bad reviews, ratings and comments from its Chinese site, it has emerged. The US retail giant agreed to Beijing’s demand to have anything below a five-star review of Xi Jinping’s book The Governance of China removed from Amazon.cn about two years ago, Reuters reported, citing two unidentified sources. The move is the latest example of western tech companies willing to work with Chinese censors for access to the country’s massive consumer market.
