(POL-ECO) China orders run of RPG supplements burned
this is one use of China's "soft power", because it's cheaper to do a lot of stuff there (for example, printing), they have a LOT of control over what goes into print.
For example, a children's atlas was scuppered because the word Tibet appeared on one of the maps. (seriously) https://www.theage.com.au/entertainm...22-p50zpn.html That meant the atlas couldn't be printed, as the only other nations to do this kinda thing are so much more expensive, that it would be uneconomic to do so. Or the incident that just occured, where the Chinese government ordered the destruction of a complete shipment of a just-printed RPG supplement (dealing with 1920's Shanghai). Apparently the illustrations in there were "offensive" or something. Chinese censors incinerate entire run of a kickstarted Call of Cthulhu RPG sourcebook / Boing Boing
