    SPEND, BUT DON'T OFFEND

    A recent Reuters article notes that Chinese officials want to
    put curbs on the use of images of Chinese currency.

    "China's central bank has proposed fines on people who
    use images of the yuan currency to fan ethnic tensions, harm
    territorial integrity, or promote pornography.

    New draft measures published by the People's Bank of
    China Wednesday lay down guidelines on how images of
    Chinese money, also known as the renminbi or "people's
    money," can be used in print and on the Internet.

    The rules were issued "to strengthen management of the
    use of renminbi images and guard the credibility of the
    renminbi," the bank said on its Web site, www.pbc.gov.cn.

    Chinese money, from the light green 1-yuan note to the
    pink 100-yuan bill, bears portraits of the late Chairman
    Mao Zedong."

    "Offences included defacing the currency, harming national
    unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity, fanning ethnic
    separatism, leaking state secrets, and promoting
    pornography, superstition and violence."
