And I'm not talking about the espionage kind. It's always a little hard to predict just what Red China will censor next. Obviously, any kind of dissident opinion against the central government is on that list, but sometimes complaints against corrupt locals are not. Besides, we know that communism loves re-education camps, so we should not be surprised at the Chinese shaping their culture in Beijing not to spit and piss on sidewalks, how to smile in public, and also how to stand in line. It's not known whether they'll let their citizens go back to "normal" after the Olympic Games. However, we got a hint of the scaredy-cat communist party when they got Blizzard to change the graphics for dead bodies and the walking undead. So perhaps this video ban on ghost stories is more in line with their attack on the afterlife and religious thought in general.
