Maybe she knew things would likely come to a head at Caijing, so she needed to have an exit option.If you look at what she has actually done over the past 10 years measured against any other journalist in China, I think it is clear she has indeed been one of the leaders in increasing the scope for free speech. She herself has been praised in the past by many senior Chinese leaders for opening the lid on some serious scandals, and I think deserves admiration for her bravery. She was the most tenacious editor to stop journalists taking money from advertisers to print stories, surely this had a great and positive impact on journalistic integrity in China, benefiting the common Chinese people? Other publications followed her lead, did they not? Perhaps Ms. Hu set up the new company as a fallback option?
