There is no such thing as "truth" in the chinese media. I think we all know that. I was talking to a friend of mine (who's from Hong Kong btw) and he said when he told a couple of people from mainland china about how bad the bird flu was, they responded "no way". I think they could use some freedom of information there. Even if it's not for porn and not current world situation.Oh and this has nothing to do with communism because it does have it's pluses. I mean, if it was communism, a idiot like bush would never be president now would he? Surely not for a second time.

They're just going to increase the number of people getting arrested in China. When they securely receive the info, and try to disseminate the it to other Chinese, they'll evenutually get busted. And if they don't disseminate it there's not much point is there?
