Chinese Bureaucrats Duel Over Right To Regulate WoW

upto0013 writes "Chinese bureaucrats are battling each other for the right to regulate World of Warcraft. They hope to gain the political clout and the revenue that comes along with controlling a new industry with potential for explosive growth. 'If you supervise a more dynamic area with a lot of growth potential, you have more budget and more administrative muscle,' said Edward Yu, president of Analysys International, an Internet research firm in Beijing. 'They see this pie is getting bigger and bigger, so it is no wonder different administrations are fighting over pieces of that territory.' It's absurd how orcs and elves (and Moonkin) can affect so many different faraway places."

China is a nightmare communist dictatorship hell hole.

Yeah, this is like those despicable Christian that eat children and celebrate the execution of an innocent man!

It's funny, though, how Chinese people keep moving back to China - makes you wonder, perhaps it isn't such a nightmarish hellhole after all.
