Hong Kong.
From a piece on CNN...
When a mainland Chinese tourist heard about a bookstore in Hong Kong that sold books banned by Beijing, he knew he had to check it out.
The Beijing native
traveled to Hong Kong for a weekend in July and stopped by People's
Commune in Causeway Bay to see if the rumors were true. "I want to know
the inside stories of the party," said the man, who did not want to be
identified because it was illegal to bring the books back home. "It has
nothing to do with me personally but there is no way you can get those
inside China."
In mainland China the
government places strict controls on mass media, which often means that
political analysis and controversial accounts of Chinese history are
impossible to find within the country's borders.
However, entrepreneurs in
Hong Kong -- a special administrative region of China that has freedom
of press -- are cashing in on the ban to cater to the millions of
mainland Chinese who travel to Hong Kong to shop.
