Is 1984 banned in China (or any of these "all those books" you mention)? A very cool cafe/bookstore I liked when I used to live in Shanghai was the 1984 Bookstore/Cafe in Shanghai [0] [0] http://www.smartshangh

Isn't it more like it's calling a square a rectangle? All these codes are 2D codes - the general public doesn't care if it's a QR Code or DataMatrix or Aztec etc. Anyway, the Baidu Wiki [0] says QR Code is a kind of 二維碼.

Are they? The article says they have one guilty plea and have charges against another. And they are still investigating GS (and other banks). From the article: > The authorities said that at least one high-ranking executive in the bank’s

“Lust, Caution” was not banned from mainland China. I saw it in Shanghai in theatres at the end of 2007. Some scenes were edited out (mostly sex scenes iirc). Please edit your comment to reflect the fact.

That's my first thought as well, but the picture could have been a kanji (or just straight Japanese) typewriter, which is similar enough to a Chinese typewriter that it makes sense to use the image. But with that in mind, the caption d
