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.

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. |

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. |

I for one welcome the measure. At least it'll cut down on the spam. |

Gorbachev being willing to give up power, to give his people a better future, might have had a bit to do with it.
If he had chosen to keep a iron fist he could still be in power |

How will it cut down on the spam? It's not like botnet controllers/hackers (who are quickly becoming the biggest conduits for spam) and scammers follow the law.
Unless China requires their ISPs to block all outbound SMTP traffic from everyone except registered servers it does no real noticeable good.

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

Further, the Soviet Union was made up of several countries, not just one . . . but their poor economy is by far what sunk the ship.

said by signmeuptoo :China isn't necessarily that well off. They are short selling themselves. 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!

But China is setting herself up for an implosion. I have been following a bunch of stuff about the country, and they are springing leaks all over. They only dominate the world economy because of slave labor, and that won't last, unrest is afoot.
