This book is on both Amazon.com(http://www.amazon.com/Rework-Chinese-...) and Amazon.cn(http://www.amazon.cn/%E9%87%8D%E6%9D%...), these two pages have lots of difference. Should I use the ASIN on Amazon.cn to create a new edition?

What is different about the books listings?The one on amazon.com is a paperback. Is the one listed on amazon.cn a paperback edition or kindle?
We do not use ASIN on Paperbacks only Kindle / Audible editions
It's a paperback, they should be the same book.
I added cover, authors, description, language from amazon.cn. Combined it with other editions. Both amazon.com and amazon.cn list the edition with ISBN 9787508623610. Amazon.cn also has ASIN for this paperback which I left alone.
I think when Amazon shows an asin for a paperback that it's most likely a marketplace seller assignment thing for used book product pages which are only as accurate as that particular seller makes them -- info from seller, not from Amazon, author or publisher.
I've listed a book in Goodreads that I first published in Smashwords. In Goodreads, I've used their auto-generated ISBN number. I've also listed the book in Amazon, which generated an ASIN number. Should I provide both of these numbers in the book's Goodreads description page? (You can tell I'm a novice at this...) :-(

I fixed your Smashwords edition and added a new Kindle edition.
I future, please start a new thread as this one is linked to a specific book
