Hey man,this is really not cool.
Please change your title, "china" didn't do anything to your book, it's your publisher or someone else did it, but not china as a country.
If a pregnant Arabian woman was shot by a villain in the U.S.A, would you say that the U.S.A KILLED an ARABIAN PREGNANT WOMAN?
I am not sensitive, the chinese people are not sensitive neither. But the west always have many misunderstandings with China, this is really not good, and hopefully it would change in the near future, by us.
If you are a photographer who wants to share a spoon of soup in China, be prepared, this is not heaven, especially when it comes to copyright stuff.
And please change your title, thanks.

My publisher just told me that my 650 page book "Taiwan Mod" that came out about 6 month ago
is now being copied and sold on the streets of Shanghai in two pirated volumes and of course for a lot less then a legal copy.
My first reaction was dismay, immediately followed by a strange sense of pride that my book was good enough to be copied!
Isn't copying or imitation the highest form of flattery?
It is so hard in this part of the world to find a lot of respect for copyright and i have send out many messages to
newspapers, magazines, clients to make them aware of all the issues, can't even begin to think about sueing
it's more like i am trying to educate one person at a time, well 1 billion chinese is a lot of people!!
cheers
