Quora copycat investor says foreign web sites are "harmful", on Quora

The post title is sensationalist. Jixin is being quite forward and explaining how things work in the PRC. He doesn't say anything about how foreign web sites are 'harmful'. Only that the PRC feels it has an obligation to protect the people from 'harmful information'. That information can be from inside or outside the country.

Of course sites that work within the PRC system of government censorship tend to stay unblocked. ;)

Good for him, this will help him convince the authorities at

(a) He is a "nice" guy (b) As sign of their appreciation, they might block quora at least sporadically.

I don't know, but I would think that top chinese VC have a personal relationship (dinner invitations, red envelopes etc) with whoever is in charge of the great firewall.
