China has actually done something that people thought could not happen in the Internet age. The government has successfully blocked all porn plus any other sites that the givernment deems as inappropriate.

I do not think they can pull up most press websites either. I doubt you can pull up a site that describes what occured at Tiananmen Square.

This is a scary twist, because it was first considered that the Internet would make it more difficult then ever for governments to control information. I think Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries have made similar moves, but none as comprehensive as communist China.

Personally, I would not make any effort to do business there. If you want a fast growing population for your web products, pick a free democracy like India, which I think will really shine over the next 10 - 20 years..
