one of the most risky thing to do business in china is that the government or administrative departments can change their mind at anytime for any reason... that's part of the reason why Internet in China is a risky business, especially for foreigners. huibo's last blog post..New Beijing Vocabulary-Lesson Four

The Beijing/China Olympics have been over shadowed by Politics when it shouldn’t be. People should concentrate on the Games. (and Michael Phelps)

I agree, concentrate on the olympics and not the country.

Although china seems to be the only place to restrict access to the web more than my employer

I think China overplayed their hand on this issue, sometimes the more you try to cover, the more you expose. And the media is having a field day digging and voicing their displeasure. However, I believe the attention should be on the athletes alone, not China. jeflin's last blog post..Overhead Supply Can Trap Your Money

This is about Olympics and government’s block on online usage, right? At some point, the blog turned to be a free ad for Baidu.com. Thanks for the information but i hope Chinese goverment will respect the freedom of getting information. With this mentality, China won’t grow.

There is no hard and fast rule that says you need to live in china to have a chinese website or to ba a chinese trader As for the olympics. The fantastic show the chinese put on for the olympic opening ceremony should not be tainted by unrelated events. Enjoy the games.

The worst is watching NBC tout China as a free country, a democracy. It's obvious they just want to keep the sponsorship for the next games. Fifty Studio's last blog post..Win Batman Dark Knight tickets

If as Americans we can have our way of managing our affairs, why can't the Chinese have their way of managing their affairs. It seems to work for them. Each culture's value system can be different from the others' without compromising on the whole. Nicole Price's last blog post..Discount DVDs

As a marketer I can't make up my mind on China. Part of me understands that China's continued internet usage growth, will further the expansion of new markets, which makes me excited. But, at the same time, one can not ignore the fact that censoring the internet is against many of the same principles that would normally drive the expansion of these new markets. Will the Chinese succeed? Only time will tell. Joe Hall's last blog post..Hitwise data misses the mark when it comes to Real Estate.
