Hong Bookseller Returns Home

China agreed today to talks with Hong Kong in the wake of explosive revelations by a city bookseller who said he was detained for eight months on the mainland, as fears grow that Beijing is tightening its grip.

A Hong Kong man linked to a bookshop that published books critical of China's leaders has returned to the financial hub after going missing more than six months ago, Hong Kong police said today.

One of five missing Hong Kong booksellers allegedly specialising in gossipy publications about Chinese leaders and detained in China returned home today, Hong Kong police said.
