The popular four-page section, known for its aggressive reporting on official corruption and inequality, was apparently shut down after running an essay questioning interpretations of national history taught in Chinese schools. Bingdian editor Li Datong wrote a widely distributed letter criticizing the closure, claiming it "seriously violated and trampled upon the [Communist] Party's constitution and political standards," and pledged to file an appeal with the government...

Plans to trim U.S. troops there this year-now at 138,000, with hopes of reducing that to 100,000 by year's end-is a tacit acknowledgment that the Army is stretched too thin, he maintains in a section he entitles "The Thin Green Line." The service's failure to achieve its recruiting goal in 2005-the first time it has missed it since 1999-and hefty bonuses for soldiers to reenlist are further evidence of the Army's erosion, he writes...
