China and Africa

I have to agree with this, one of the biggest things the projects are meant to do is allow for the free spread of information, everywhere. Is China a tough market because of the government and problems that exist there? Of course it is, but I would think that would make the project even more needed. While we have competitors there they all censor and bow to the wishes of the government regardless and by bowing to them and stepping back from the wiki we run the risk of highly discouraging the great volunteers we have on the ground. We are asking them to pick up the slack without much support. As Mike said it looks horrible, even while I understand some of the sentiments behind it the very first thing that pops into my head is a failure of our basic mission. :(
