because in china there aren't a bunch of hippies protesting the freedom to smoke pot that is taken away from them. rather, opium addiction was imposed on china at gunpoint by europeans. rubbing salt in the wound, for muse editors to come up with "opium flirt" in an issue called "china girl", a greater insult i cannot imagine.
for an industry known for its liberal tolerance of addictions and sexualities, its cultural insensivity is still astounding
