Look at us, by Sun Mu. An exhibition of works by a former North Korean propaganda artist was cancelled this week in China, reportedly under orders from the Chinese government.

The month-long exhibition was due to open on July 27th, but according to South Koreas Yonhap news agency, Chinese police blocked people from entering the gallery and removed Sun Mus paintings just before the opening.
