Abstract
The reservations about Mao's China Barthes expressed in his famous 1974 article "So, what about China?" used to generate a lot of discussions and criticism. But what if he expressed most of his reservations about Mao's regime in this text, in a clever and indirect way? This article examines Barthes's posthumously published notebooks Travels in China, along with some notes from his 1974 course, in order to question the (im)possible conditions of his stand on China.
