China's problems

It's not that China doesn't get enough of a bad rep. It's just the fact that the government is trying to control everything that people do. Something to which no totalitarian government can effectively do.

Some of the stories coming out of the place are becoming downright depressing. From problems with human trafficking to issues of internet addiction, there's really a lot to say about the growing market that is the largest world market to date.

During the next world cup, all games where the Chinese national team plays will not be broadcast live. They will be recorded, and only if China wins, the game will be showed in China. even so it's likely to be Heavily edited of anything that might make look the chinese team less than spectacular...

I heard Google's just about had it with China. You know there are issues when the largest internet company is considering pulling out of the world's largest internet market.

Re: Tev, that was in response to information google received about gmail accounts from google.cn being compromised in search of dissidents and human rights activists and also attacks on foreign corporate servers in search of the same outside of China. They decided they would either stop censoring all google.cn results, or they would terminate operations in China altogether. Either way they took a rather unprecedented step of releasing their statement publicly and threw a little gasoline on the China fire by exposing their efforts to uncover (and likely punish) said activists.
