China is trying to regulate everything so much, that it is almost pointless to even go on the internet there. Everything is either censored or illegal.

said by Transmaster :

That might be true but at least they mean business when it comes to spam.

said by CHICAD :

Eventually, all these regulations will backfire on China as it did the Soviet Union.If this happens, there will be no stability in the world we live.

China isn't necessarily that well off. They are short selling themselves.

said by damox :

Why do you say that (not necessarily well off - of course their population is about 5 time that of the US, but . . . ), and what do you mean by selling themselves short? In any case, they seem to make at least fifty percent of the products sold in the US! I don't know what the actual numbers are, but to see so much made in China, and so little made in the US is appalling. It's really hard to find products not made in China, especially in certain lines of products, and if it's not "Made in China", there's a sure bet that some of the parts are made in China. Moreover (even though this was not part of the discussion), it's hard to find products made in the US, PERIOD! So I don't know how poorly China's doing, but at the rate they are going, it won't be long before they rule the world, at least economically, even if their people are poor! Apparently even some of our missile parts are made in China. I think that while China may not be so well off, we are definately not well off either!

Soviet Union didn't have a functional economy to keep them afloat. If they had a better economy, they'd still be doing the "bad old days" things even today.

If you think about it, this is a good thing for the rest of us. It should cut down on some of the spam we get that originates in China.

said by packetscan :

What do you expect from china.

When it comes to citizens freedoms, they have none.

said by bokamba :

Yeah, sure it'll make spamming harder, but it'll also make it easier to shut down email communications that the government doesn't approve of, i.e., religious or anti-Communist Party communications.

I don't care if my government tracks my Internet usage since I don't have anything to hide. At least I can go anywhere the Internet goes freely if I want to do so. As far as bash China? I don't think I have the right to bash a country that has been in existence for thousands of years in contrast to our country's hundreds of years at being a nation.

Our Government let more then 12 millions ILLEGAL aliens taking over our country and they can do nothing about it!! Now you understand that we have bunch of monkeys running our Government.(No offend to the monkeys,I think they are smarter then what we have in our capital)

Don't delude yourself. You have the freedom to bitch and not get arrested. Otherwise, you live in the country that, per capita, incarcerates more of its citizens than any other on the face of the earth. You can say what you want, but if you don't do what you're told....
