China Bans Game Recognizing Taiwan Independence
OhioJoe writes "MSNBC is reporting that China has banned a soccer game that depicts Taiwan as independent. Violators are threatened with $1200 fines. From the article: "The game, 'Soccer Manager 2005', contained content that harmed China's sovereignty and territorial integrity and violated Chinese law, the Xinhua news agency reported on Tuesday."

Great Britain has banned all references to the "United States" and insists that any software produced in "the colonies" or elsewhere reflect this view.
Yeah? Well I think you're overrated too.
Seriously, what's next? Banning references to an independent Tibe- >>
$6.21 is the number of the beast before sales tax. Meh.
The difference between a republic and a people's republic is the difference between a jacket and a straight jacket.
China, wake up! You are being ruled by a pack of brutal psychopaths that only care about their own pampered asses! Overthrow them and their corrupt government. You are many and they are few, only fear can keep you from the freedom to do, read, and think whatever you wish. Only the dictators that rule your contry are keeping you from taking you rightful place as one of the world's great nations! Remeber Tiananmen!
That should pretty much put an end to slashdot's Chinese readership. If a revolution starts in China tomorow, I get credit for starting it!
HA! I just wasted some of your bandwidth with a frivolous sig!
What'd happen then? They'd try to justify their genocide of the Armenians?
Sometimes I think we need a powerful alien race to come over and set us straight. "Ok, Turkey and Iraq, you're splitting up. The Kurds have been more than patient, and will get their own country. No, you don't get any rights to their oil. China, shut up about Taiwan. You can't have it. And since you've been such a baby about it, you're losing Tibet as well. North Korea, your leader is a nut and is being committed to a mental institution. Time for you to find someone new. Make sure he isn't crazy this time or we'll be back. Zimbabwe, you need a new leader. India and Pakistan, this Kashmir thing is ridiculous. Here's the deal: everyone has to move out of it, to either India or Pakistan (their choice). Then, we're making it into a Park. No one can live there except rangers. Sri Lanka, you're splitting up. The Tamils get their own half of the island. And finally, United States, you're splitting up too. You're too powerful, and have been electing idiots lately. All the states west of New Mexico, including Alaska and Hawaii, and now a separate country. You east coast states will have to learn to get along without all of California's tax revenue, and without all the natural resources of the West. Plus, since Nevada is in the new country, they get to keep Area 51. You can keep the wrecked ship of ours that you found, but we want the bodies back."
