China huh? I'm probably not going to be the most popular person in the world for saying this but... wouldn't they be better spending their time getting rid of the countless power levelling companies, hentai distributors and nuclear arms proliferators? LOL. Ban Counterstrike but join the nuclear arms race, yes Mister Holmes, that makes perfect sense, your logic is, as always, undeniable.

What's that you say? Irony you say...why I've never heard of such a thing!

What can I say. Nothing new from the east front.
This goes hand in hand with the Chinese governments efforts to control its population, especially now that the Olympics are coming.
Trying to make their country look like it's flawless, but making it all much much worse.

Stories like this are probably made to distract you from another issue. Like when our (I'm American) President decided to bring up gay marriage instead of dealing with the war, rising gas prices, slowing economy, etc.

Well, they are all examples of how the Chinese government violates its own people.

THEIR industry is gonna suffer from people playing video games? ha, imagine how much money people make just off of selling gold and powerleveling, and also, how does the government expect to stay in power when they keep violating the rights of over a billion people....

if china doesn't end up having a civil war ,revolution
they will take over the world =)

You maybe forget one important thing: there is communism in China, so i'm not supprise even WoW is controlled.

"wouldn't they be better spending their time getting rid of the countless power levelling companies, hentai distributors and nuclear arms proliferators?"

Not really, if they did that, the country would employ less people, and more people would be in poverty. I know you all hate chinese farmers, but their wages in "sweat shops" are better then their wages on the farms or labouring in factories.

Im happy to give a hand up to help out my asian friends, who want to save me precious time in game, the time that SHOULD be spent HAVING FUN not working for gold, like i work for money at work.

All in all, people give power to the governments. If they dont like it, they really really should be revolting. If the majority of the country believes one thing, its a good indication that they should do it, and the freedom should be there for others that dont want it, can decide to themselves not to do it.
