Meanwhile, China's new entrepreneurs are focusing, in true capitalist fashion, on how to exploit space travel for a quick buck. Stamps bearing the Shenzhou image have become collectors' items, and the Jianlibao company promotes its sports drinks with pictures of an astronaut.

Eager to exploit the power of art but wary all the same of wayward artists, Rome operated like the old Hays office in Hollywood, mandating what could be shown and how to show it.
