The Campbell list at http://www.sfadb.com/John_W_Campbell_Memorial_Award_2015 has been updated per the official Campbell site to clarify that Jeff VanderMeer’s entire trilogy, not just the first volume, is nominated, and that Ken Liu is credited as translator of the Cixin Liu novel.
Also, the Campbell site says “This year’s list of finalists is longer than usual partly in response to controversy over other, non-juried awards, and partly because 2014 offered so many fine SF novels.”
