Others
In 2008 the magazine printed a picture with old Chinese characters on the cover of “Focus China” . Although the picture had been made available by a picture agency for many years and used several times by other editorial offices, it was only after printing that it became apparent that the text read as follows: "We paid a lot and found young girls from northern China ". In the case of copies that have already been printed, the title page was pasted over, so that a defused version can be found in the archived PDF version.
