A little tidbit from China

I thought this was interesting. Apparently a couple of the major online portal owners have been criticised by the government for not responding to the crackdown on porn fast enough. So far so normal. Happens everywhere. The companies' responses though remind you that it's an entirely different and slightly alien culture to the west :P

Titbit, not tidbit.
Sheesh - do you say SKEDULE as well?!
j/k

Very interesting. Sexual freedom = decadence is a global issue.
But then, complete sexual freedom = oppression is even trickier.

China's closest neighbours in terms of culture are the Japanese (as opposed to their actual borders) and their sexual boundaries are startling to Western minds.

China's government censors the hell out of their Internet. Very creepy really.
