BEIJING - Editors with the nation's most popular science fiction magazine have issued an open letter asking for the editor-in-chief to be fired, accusing him of being corrupt and dictatorial.

Liu Zhuang, a staffer from the magazine's editorial office, confirmed with China Daily on Monday that the letter was sent jointly by all the editors.
