China Continues to Shut Down Video Sites

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "It's not just YouTube that's blocked in China. After the unrest in Tibet, at least 25 video sharing sites have been shut down and others have been penalized. While the Chinese government is not admitting that violence in Tibet had anything to do with it, they do have a sudden interest in strictly enforcing licensing restrictions that require video sharing websites to register with the government. Among other things, Chinese video sharing sites must promise not to show videos that inspire fear, contain pornography, or endanger national security."

Fine enough, but how precise?

We should carpet bomb all of asia with nukes.

Fuck china (Score:-1, Flamebait) And how is that a problem? The only issue is having enough power in one pass(perhaps a gigaton in the right spots) but not too much(such that you get fallout).
Anything much beyond one pass, and you're inviting the possibility of a successful retribution.

Of course, should you find some way to incapacitate China, how would the business community react?
