| Yay opression!
It'd almost be easier for them to not allow the Internet if they wanted to avoid that. It'll ultimately help the country reform from the inside out though. I give China another 15-20 years before the State finally gives way to the younger populace who embrace Capitalism. |

@cable.rogers | well..
It would've been better if this wasn't in their agenda "anti-government postings".
Too bad we don't live in an ideal world, freedom always comes with "anti-government postings" and order always comes with censorship and control. |

| But They're #1!
Where are all those people who were praising China for its increasing broadband penetration and who were saying that China is somehow better than the USA in this regard. This development shows that China hasn't moved anywhere up on the human rights ladder.
If any country needs a regime change, its China.

Why is anyone suprised? The EXACT SAME THING is already required in the US. You are legally required to use real information when you register your domain, so there's no such thing as an 'anonymous domain' anymore. That's no different than what the chinese are doing right now.
Remember, our 'Department of Homeland Security and Movies and Music' just wants to clamp down on fraud, and other 'unhealty internet activities', like fair use and free speech. The Chinese are just following our lead, not the other way around.

Ahh I think it was every one jealous of the adoption of the ipv6 standard.
I think we are still jealous of the Koreans and the japanese... maybe even the Malaysian services.

Yea, and it's the business of the United States to go interfere with it change it. Why don't we just mind our own damn business? This is another nation which is not aggressive toward us, yet we feel the need to massage their prostate daily to see what's up. Well, we should watch out...China ain't Iraq and it ain't in the mood to put up with any of GW's horse shit. |

Duluth, GA | China may not be directly aggressive with the USA, but they are aggressive with a couple of our economic friends. Should we ignore friends?

Hmm..
In China, fines, imprisonment, death..
In the US, fines, inprisonment, death*..
*(death is only deferred in the US due to the existence of 2nd ammendment rights, which many states are working to remove. Once they have supressed the 2nd ammendment, death will become the standard penalty.

I give China another 15-20 years before the State finally gives way to the younger populace who embrace Capitalism. You are correct this is the way I see China going. The one thing the Chinese people have always had for thousands of years is a love of business, they love to make money. Once the all of the Long March veterans in government are gone and the Chinese educated in the west start to take over this when things in China will start to change. Now they are not going to be a free and easy outfit like the EU is there are to many millennia of tradition to overcome. rideboarder what is wrong with capitalism if China become like the United State, and Japan
it will keep the peace, after all war is a expensive and money loosing thing.

This development shows that China hasn't moved anywhere up on the human rights ladder. If any country needs a regime change, its China. I don't know who was singing China's praises over BB penetration, but regime change? That's funny! Do you swallow these talking points in small doses or down 'em all at once?
Most of the 'regimes' that support the U.S. (in China's case by buying our debt via US Treasuries to keep us afloat) or that we support (because of 'strategic interests' such as Saudi Arabia or Egypt) are no better than those we don't: we simply sell their neighbors illegal arms to keep them in check and fight them by proxy - their blood, our guns.
Studies show that more than half of half the people that voted for Bush still think Iraq was behind the attacks of 9/11. But the facts, inconvenient little devils that they are, tell us that 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi! And this was known in 2002! Good old Saudi Arabia ... where, by the way, women still can't vote or drive a car! But then you probably think that's a good thing, huh?
