The English Dictionary According to Web**China**r's

Here are the pictures of the dictionary we bought at the imported books store:

A normal looking dictionary


Any offending material covered up with opaque white tape


Select biographical names cut out
(Chiang Kai-shek: leader of the Nationalist Party that was exiled to Taiwan in 1949)


Anything about Taiwan, and anything in proximity to Taiwan (too bad Lake Tahoe)


Sometimes a hasty black marker does the job


If you look just right, you can still make them out with a backlight. The censors need some more advanced technology to really cut out the information.
