Three Body Problem - How did this get published in China? (lemmy.world)

Taking a week of medical leave and got excited to settle in with 3BP on Netflix only to find out, that's NEXT month.

Picked up the books instead...

How? How did the Chinese government allow this to be published? There HAS to be some kind of story there...

Reading up on it, the opening chapters that are so highly critical of Mao's Cultural Revolution were always intended to be the opening, but were moved to be later in the book in China.

So maybe that's it? The censors just didn't read the whole thing?

It's worth getting through the third one in my opinion. The ending is quite good!
