China as the state can ask to transfer persons from other countries - USA, India, Russia etc. in criminal cases, it depends from international agreements.

Oh, c'mon. I know the Chinese government is pretty damn harsh, but there's no way in hell they're going to extradite any native Chinese who might be living in other countries because they're using a discussion forum about bitcoin. There's insanity, and then there's that hypothetical situation. It's never going to happen.

Bitcointalk is banned in Russia. Do you know that?

But I don't think the Russian authorities are nearly as strict about enforcing their ban, and I think they allow much more freedom of expression than China does (but I could be mistaken). In any case, my point is that they're two different countries so it's not exactly apples to apples.

I am pretty convinced both him and badecker are writing speculative fantasy as truth which is very hard to do. Hey Joeyp whats next.

An AI-generated large language model post of how Bitcointalk servers are responsible for carbon monoxide emission and should be switched off? Tongue

Is that what this is? The topic sounds pretty far fetched to me, and if people were arrested or otherwise sanctioned for simply discussing bitcoin that would be a first, wouldn't it? It'd also be a bleak new low for humanity.
