China: Striking another blow for ignorance.

Hey, that's strike 2!
Didn't they send out idiots, with guns, in uniforms to incarcerate all their smart people, about 20yrs ago?

/me wonder what strike 3 will be

China needs for all of those 10 year old boys to get back to work in the factories and quit putzin' around in those internet cafes. MUST HAVE MORE PRODUCTIVITY!!!

Yeah, they certainly don't encourage computer and internet use here too much. Computers are very expensive, so it's not like most people will ever get one at home.
They do have internet access in all the hotels though - it's mainly for business use, but there are hotels everywhere here, so it'c certainly possible to get internet access.

I discovered today that Wikipedia is blocked by the Great Firewall.
Hummm... bit annoyed about that
