Abstract

The large bottle opener mimicking Shanghai’s World Financial Center is somewhat cumbersome for quotidian use, but it appears well placed on a shelf in front of a poster announcing the movie Masculin Féminin – a film by Jean-Luc Godard from the mid-sixties whose famous intertitle The Children of Marx and Coca-Cola suggests this paper’s thesis. China resists attitudes that attempt at analysis and conclusion on the basis of clear-cut categories.
