Where do you live? Because I know of no major country without rampant government censorship.

No offense but you make a good argument for why china restricts access. Your comment seems to come from a political operative than someone trying to spin up some web servers in china.
> Meanwhile, I can spin up a server in Dubai or South Africa or Brazil like... right now. No paperwork. No prostrating myself in front of the Police to beg for permission to be able to post government-approved content.
You make it sound like that's a good thing? It's not. Also, all those countries you listed have censorship...
> Remind me, why do we do business with these people again? Why do we give them our money?
I don't know. Why are you so desperate to do business in china? Shouldn't you be happy since you aren't doing business in china?
I don't understand people like you. You say we shouldn't do business with china. But you whine about not being able to do business in china.
