The most obvious thing is, when you are forced to tunnel ALL traffic over SSH because most of the 'internet' is blocked, and EVERY POP/SMTP email is intercepted and scanned and sometimes deleted, it really doesn't matter what technology you are using its going to be SLOW. Shenzhen's GDP is only growing that fast because that is the GDP of 3Mil 'locals' it doesn't include the 5Mil peasant "migrant" workers from rural areas who live in tin huts next to their respective building sites (owned by a local).

I am an American living in China. I use China Telecom's ADSL and am LUCKY if I get 150k. I ask, I BEG them for a faster connection, would GLADLY PAY MORE for a decent connection, they just say NO, that 'NORMAL people don't NEED a faster connection. I guess that means that since I'm not a 'Party Member' I don't NEED it. :+( I am NOT impressed with China's 'Broadband' systems. I am an American living in China.
