It appears according to this Gamespy article, that Wrath of the Lich King has been rejected by censors in China. Apparently Chinese culture is a bit sensitive to the skeletal looking undead and would prefer them to look more "un" than "dead". Allen of Gamespy makes a good point in asking whether Blizzard will censor themselves early in the design process to ensure there'll be no problems when marketing games to China in the future. I think it could be a possibility considering Fallout 3 was modified so that it would be accepted in Australia - although admittedly, it was a minor fix (i.e. just a renaming of drugs).
