Can someone answer this question:
Why was Tang Wei banished from China, but not Tony Leung? (he's the one that had sex with her in the film, right?). It's wrong for her to have sex on screen but it's okay for Tony Leung?

She's not banished, she's blacklisted in all the chinese media,not because of the sex scenes (most of them have been censored in the chinese theatres), but because her role.
She plays a traitor, a woman who choose love rather than her fatherland, that's why the censorship is so merciless, they refuse this idea. Ang Lee was spared because is an artistic adviser to the Beijing Olympics, Tony Leung is lucky is a famous star and born in HK.
Remember, for the Chinese Botanist Daughter, Dai Sijie the director asked Zhou Xun (Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress) to take the lead part, she accepted first, then declined because the chinese government put the pressure on her.

The regular DVD was also uncensored, apparently.

"unrated" does or does not mean it will be optically censored?

Has that been common practice for Korean DVDs, because I haven't noticed? But maybe I'm watching the wrong stuff.
I wonder, the word "unrated" is so widely used for marketing DVD nowadays but it usually refers to USA rating system, which may or may not have anything to do with the rating system in foreign country?

My Korean version of Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance has a very brief male frontal shot blurred, and the Korean version of Goodbye, Lenin that I saw also had a brief instance of male frontal blurred. Not sure if that's just common practice or if that's the law.

I'd expect the Japanese release to be censored.
If the Korean release is coming out in a little over two weeks, I wonder why it isn't available for preorder yet.

For Chinese Botanist Daughter, Xiao Ran Li accepted that role finally. Xiao Ran Li was already a famous mainstream star in China; after Chinese Botanist Daughter, Xiao Ran Li could still star in Chinese TV series and movies (like Dragon Tiger Gate )

Is it easier with Tang Wei because she is not a famous established star ?

About the pressure on the actress from the Dai Sjie interview on a french site :
Qu’avez-vous pensé de l’attitude de Zhou Xun (l’actrice de Balzac et la petite tailleuse chinoise (2002)), à qui vous aviez proposé le rôle et qui l’a finalement abandonné ?
Il est vrai qu’elle a été convoquée et qu’on lui a suggéré de ne pas tourner dans ce film. Elle a fait un choix. Je le regrette beaucoup et, pour le coup, j’en suis personnellement touché car c’est une amie et j’aurais souhaité qu’elle ait un peu plus de détermination. Dongfu Lin et Li Xioran, deux très grands acteurs chinois, n’ont pas eu ces craintes, pas plus que les techniciens chinois de premier plan avec qui je souhaitais travailler. Tous ont accepté avant tout parce qu’ils avaient aimé le scénario. Pendant le tournage, ils ont été d’un grand soutien, tant moral qu’artistique.

«It's true that she has been convened and suggested not to play in this film. She made a choice. I am very sorry and, for once, I am personally touched because she is a friend and I wish she had a little more determination. Dongfu Lin and Li Xioran, two great chinese actors have not had these fears, nor top chinese technicians with whom I wanted to work. All have accepted primarily because they liked the script. During the shooting, they were a great support, both moral and artistic.»
