Why can you access the english version and not the Chinese? Is it because educated people that can speak English will have access to most information they want to find anyway?

 

[Dann]

The Chinese version is still banned in China! What percentage of the Chinese population will be reading English Wiki anyway?

Hence the ""

However, I've already made up my mind to leave the country at my first opportunity, ungrateful me...

Could you get whacked in the nogging for voicing your discontent here?

 

[plarq]

nope, it's not recorded.

If CFC is banned like Wikipedia, then Thunderfall must become a hero of Freedom on the Internet!

 

[Dann]

No because this forum isn't famous enough.

 

[ironduck]

But if it was a forum the government was watching?

Well now that the English wiki is available in China, the Chinese government can read all about us on our wiki, and then ban Perfection.

 

[ironduck]

Perfection hurts the eyes of innocent Chinese children! Chinese government must ban Perfection!

Why should it watch this forum? Or, what's the deal if government staff watch this? I mean, there should be civ-fan in Chinese authority staff, and they carelessly slipped into OT for Babe's Thread.
