I pity those who live in China since there are so many things that are being controlled by the government. Internet video is one of the things that got into the list. "The new regulations, which take effect on January 31, were approved by both the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and the Ministry of Information Industry and were described on their Web sites Thursday." I would like to get some opinions especially those who live in China on these controls that limit many things to the people.

They are always banning things and limiting things there it's no new news...that is how the government works over there it's sad but that is how it works over there...and I am not sure if people who are living there now are able to answer that or not and not get in trouble...not as free over there as it is in certain other countries...

That's what I thought too. They might be too afraid to even reply to this...
