China was blocking Google some time ago. And probably is still blocking.

Seems they have one of the greatest modern wonder of the world - great China firewall

(as everybody know from history China likes great walls)

they're trying to get there in the best way that they can - it is not easy to manage a country that size (> 1 billion people). so while it may seem terrible to most people, it's probably the best and safest way to modernize the country.

YEs the Chinese Government even made Google filter out certain websites before they would let people use Google in China.

Hi there,

Those are their rules, I know I heard before that pornography in China was illegal if the woman or the man showed the pubic hair. I am not fully aware on the law, but I have heard it before.

They do have some odd laws, although I am sure they think some laws in USA are weird. For instance in Florida having a sexual relationship with a porcupine is illegal...seriously!


Regards,
Kieran Taylor.
