In Clinton 'History' Doesn't Repeat Itself in China, JOSEPH KAHN writes about the censorship (and popularity) of Hillary Rodham Clinton's biography in China. The Simon & Schuster website he mentions can be found here, and as of this writing, it was apparently accessible in China. Still, I can't help but feel that the Senator is happy to have a chance to speak to her American audience about her opposition to various Chinese policies. And it's not just her: the Chinese on the Simon & Schuster website is *.gif files, so one doesn't need Chinese fonts to read it. That can only be for the sake of people who don't usually read Chinese on their computers. Or is it fear of piracy?
