China may pride itself on its business prowess, but its state-controlled media shed little light on the way its companies work. A rare exception to this rule, Caijing magazine, is now in turmoil, with many of its staff threatening to resign and rumours swirling of a rift between its feisty editor-in-chief and the company that publishes it. Uncharacteristically, Caijing itself is saying very little. The magazine, based in Beijing and founded in 1998, is still functioning normally, says a spokeswoman. Seventy members, or around two-thirds of its commercial department, have submitted their resignations "for personal reasons", but they continue to show up for work, she says. The latest edition of the bi-weekly publication appeared as usual on October 12th.
