\nThe Hong Kong Economic Journal has scrapped political activist Edward Chin Chi-kin’s weekly column, leading the hedge fund manager to blast the move as a “political decision”.<\/p>\n

A core member of Occupy Central, Chin said the move to cut his column was “abrupt”. Chin said he was told late last Friday that the half-page column he had penned since 2006 would be cancelled starting yesterday because of a planned new page design.<\/p>\n

Chin said the real reason was clear to him. “About six months ago, I was told to write less about politics,” he said. “Because of the political and economic situation in today’s Hong Kong, there’s no way for me to write only about finance in my column, since politics and economics are fundamentally inseparable.”<\/p>\n

The newspaper did not respond to an inquiry from the South China Morning Post.<\/p>\n
