But book burnings in Germany were sanctioned and encouraged by the government.
And the books that are banned in China are banned by the government.

By analogy, i do think what in all three cases the books (different in each case) was banned, burned by govts.
It's just meant, here is no difference between Nazis, American or Chinese brainwashing, it's international.tylerdurden wrote:I may very well have erection difficulties...

Anthony Comstock's New York Society for the Suppression of Vice, founded in 1873, inscribed book burning on its seal, as a worthy goal to be achieved (see illustration at right). Comstock's total accomplishment in a long and influential career is estimated to have been the destruction of some 15 tons of books, 284,000 pounds of plates for printing such 'objectionable' books, and nearly 4,000,000 pictures. All of this material was defined as "lewd" by Comstock's very broad definition of the term — which he and his associates successfully lobbied the United States Congress to incorporate in the Comstock Law.[citation needed]
In the 1950s several books by William Reich were ordered to be burned in the U.S. under judicial orders.[4]

Steve Elliott, 'The Little Black Book of Marijuana"
The Seattle Weekly employs a columnist who reviews marijuana dispensaries. That's the first surprising thing in this strange tale of Chinese censorship. That columnist, Steve Elliott, has a book coming out called The Little Black Book of Marijuana, which was supposed to launch on Aug. 1. But the launch has been pushed back to Sept. 15 because the Chinese printing house with which his publisher contracted has reportedly been told not to print it. In fact, the Chinese government won't allow the book to be printed anywhere on the mainland, Elliot wrote in his blog, Toke of the Town. So the printer had to move production to a bindery in Hong Kong
