Update: Apparently they removed the Death Knight class entirely from WotLK and the game was still not acceptable to the Chinese government. Craziness. I would sure like to find out what they have against zombies and skeletons.
Other things: There's no Sapphiron in the login screen of Chinese WoW, it's just blank, so no flying skeleton frost-breathing dragon. And here's an undead:
