I do not know if I would refer to it as "China's Military". Something more akin 
to warlord poly corp cartels.
The reason I address it here, is that we should always recognize that a great 
deal of the world's DNS, IDN, and Internet use market is under "command and 
supply", and supply and demand concepts many of us would rather not think about.
Giving some of the Generals and their procurement officers a few fellowships 
might be a good idea.

Jeff and all,
    I spent much of my life studying about China and l and worked there, as 
well. While China's screaming at Google may help pressure for better active 
policy here, it is not really an effort to eliminate ghastly stuff from their 
people's reach, but more likely to protect a market that only the Chinese 
military is big enough to get away with there, and has for a LONG time.

Dr. Joe and all,

I for one am glad to see that China is finnaly clamping down on
Porn in at least some fashion, all be it that their own countrymen
whom are registrants, and registrars are as guilty of proliferating
same.
Google has sense it's inception has been with it's Search Engine
technology
tempting fate and enabling to Pornographers, and proliferators of same
of all sorts. Yahoo as well are as guilty. Yet for whatever reason(s)
our governments ( Canada and US ) are amongst several that have
turned mostly a blind eye to the major proliferators, i.e. Google, ect.,

of such. One can only wonder why?

So we all can hope that Vint Cerf will with his "Evanglistic"
role/position
within Google, Evangelize to change Googles enabeling ways of
proliferating
Porn. So far it appears evident in China that those efforts are far
less than exceptable. So why are they excpetable in the US, Canada, and
in other
countries?
