HONG KONG (Reuters) - A publisher of books critical of China's leaders who went missing in Hong Kong last week has travelled to China voluntarily, his wife said on Tuesday, as Britain reminded its former colony of its commitment to press freedom.

Four other associates of the publisher that specializes in selling and publishing gossipy political books on China's Communist Party leaders have been unaccounted for since late last year.
