Jaysus, do not do any business with China. I know, the low costs are deceivingly awesome, but it will absolutely bite you in the ass.

[EDIT: Took out extraneous political comments. -TK]

Time to find a new printer, though I can understand the need to lower costs.

Part of reason why many Western nations now use India instead China. Wesstern-China relations will only continue to sour.

I feel so sorry for the vast majority of Chinese citizens who have to live under this insanity.

There's been a big crackdown on this in the last five years. Printers who never had problems handling books with the "T" word in them are now "suggesting" revisions.

Don't judge the entire Chinese population based on their loudest netizens. I'm sure you wouldn't want Americans judged that way, either.
