China's War Against Wires

hodet writes "On sections of Beijing Road, you can barely see the sky. On Tibet Road, they dangle in garden-hose rolls and knots intricate enough to confound a Boy Scout. Over on Hefei Street, one enterprising apartment dweller even used them to hang-dry selected cuts of meat. Tech-happy Shanghai, the most wired city in China, has a problem: wires. Telephone wires. Fiber-optic wires. Electrical wires. Wires no one can seem to identify. Black wires. Blue wires. Magenta wires. They're everywhere, and they're gumming up the works."

someone should hang hammocks and rent that shit out.

Why should we care.

If wiring like this is legal, they should either stop complaining or get their evil evil government to change the law. If it's illegal, I'd just start cutting the eyesores with some snippers. At any rate, I think China has more important problems the rest of the world should be concerned with besides wire proliference.

Here is an idea - instead of constantly fawning over China, why doesn't slashdot run a story about their brutal imprisonment and torture of Falun Gong followers?

I can kick you out of the GNAA if I want, and you have no authority to question my decisions. Your membership has been revoked.

And since I am Tirel, I can do whatever the hell I want.

Punk ass bitch.

I call that Freedom of Choice and Free Markets. Why should a wireless provider not be able to choose what carrier it wants to use to provide its customers with services? If it were obviously such a big problem, how come the wireless providers haven't picked a common carrier?
