Thanks for the link.
To Chinese government officials, they dont care about Bitcoin but they care about a group of people gathering together to protest.Maybe the Chinese government is afraid of that scenario.
Yes, this was indeed a serious problem. When I was in China recently, I could not get on to Google and BTT access was sporadic. VPN won't work either. They will track you down like a cat and mouse game and disrupt your connectivity. I had a few VPNs and had to rotate using it. It is so counter productive.
I think we should communicate with fellow Nemsters via a chinese website. Anyone here from China who happened to scaled the Great Firewall?
