Tiananmen Square is an ad-free zone
Sure, China has embraced capitalism, but only to a point. In fact, though it's difficult to actually admit this, the country may have a more enlightened view toward advertising clutter than the U.S. and Russia. (We reported in the last few months that Moscow has become one giant billboard.). That's because the Chinese government has decided to continue a ban on advertising in Tiananmen Square and other prominent locations in Beijing. According to this story (in fractured English) from the Xinhua News Agency, the ban also extends to major highways, Beijing West Railway Station and the Capital Airport.
