Pros: there's less spam, It's based on IPv6, it's safer, it's growing faster

Cons: it's slower, blackouts are common, it's monitored, access to foreign web sites is limited, it's censored, there's less porn

  • How is they have so much less porn, when all the best bootleg porn is pressed to discs comes from China?

  • So if the internet is roughly 85% porn does this mean they are only getting 15% of the web?!?

  • I still laugh whenever I hear somebody call China a communist nation. Karl Marx or Lenin would go Gojira on their ass if they found out what they were doing to their beloved communism. Authoritarian semi-capitalism seems more like it.

  • Lack of porn has clearly touched a nerve (or 2 or 3)...but it seems inevitable that the insanely tight governmental grip there will have to loosen (and this metaphor has nothing to do with porn or the lack of).

  • I'm surprised there is actually as much 'free' surfing as there is when it remains that China is under Communist rule.
    Even with a large pinch of quasi-capitalism thrown in to help tame the bitter flavor ever present in Communist nations, it does little to remove the one constant: your life is NEVER free from government scrutiny; more evident when compared to todays America, although only a little less insidious in the People's Republic of China.
