"Yi Guo’s Freedom of the Press in China: A Conceptual History, 1831-1949 is a timely contribution that enhances our understanding of freedom of speech and the press, providing a historical dimension and cultural specificity, namely, China in the first half of the 20th century. [...] The book is a well-researched scholarly work and will appeal to anyone – particularly advanced undergraduate and graduate students – interested in the history of journalism and publishing, intellectual history and social history in modern China."
