[QUOTE=archangel125;19806621]The chinese government is fascist, not communist. The only thing that's even midly communist about them is their party name.[/QUOTE]
They're an authoritarian single party state, not fascist. Just because a state is authoritarian doesn't make it fascist. Communism and fascism are pretty different.
Only a matter of time before the entire country implodes on itself.
Well at least they did one thing right by blocking 4chan.
Is that fucking america in the red text?
Wow, that's worse than Saudi Arabia's censorship.
Foxnews has been blocked too. :ohdear:

Going off of three comments,but no one is for sure THOSE are chinese agents.
That being said, I'm dumb regardless.

They have a socialist/communist government.

Whether they are or not, remember censorship varies in China from region to region (notice one guy could access 4chan and one couldn't)
[QUOTE=Dr Pepper;19825297]They have a socialist/communist government.[/QUOTE]
Are you really this dumb? What kind of communist government opens its doors of high ranking membership to business owners and sells out the country's labor force?
China is an oligarchy, and they're combining state interests with chinese corporate interests. China doesn't want to relinquish state power as its native companies depend a LOT on the government to help it grow (the chinese state owns majority shares in most, if not all, native large businesses). If that aid stopped, the country would instead be run by foreign interests, as those mentioned corporations would falter in face of the huge competition that foreign companies can bring.

I actually didn't know that, thanks for the information.

Killing several thousand political dissidents is fascist.

[QUOTE=XD!;19806601]Apparently they blocked runescape. :v:[/QUOTE]
They also blocked 4chan.
[QUOTE=elitehakor;19807062]Now why would 4chan be blocked? It's a safe and fun website!
/joke[/QUOTE]
But the real hilarity is that how do they even know about it? Obviously [I]SOMEONE[/I] had to go onto the site to see if it was block worthy.
[QUOTE=XD!;19806601]Apparently they blocked runescape. :v:[/QUOTE]
I think they did that for sensible reasons rather than censorship, the same with WoW being blocked.
China became notorious for being the origin of illegal "gold farming" groups, which sold gold for real money. The problem was they obtained it by hacking the game/exploiting glitches, disrupting the game, and/or even stealing credit cards to buy it elsewhere then sell it back for a profit.
On-topic, from looking at that list, I'm even happier to live in the West now.
im suprised they did not block facepunch when they saw the fucked up that happens in here
There is a chinese ad at the bottom of this page, at least for me, anyway...
Kind of ironic in a way....
