Indeed - food is something you need to be a little careful about in China (something that all those "rules" and "regulations" does help with in western countries). i once bought some cheap peanut butter that i (after i'd used it a couple of times), discovered was made in china . the rest went straight in the bin... not worth the risk. unfortunately for australians, the kiwis seem to be less stringent about letting in chinese vegetables, and then half of them end up being sent here and passed off as "product of new zealand". i can only imagine what kind of chemicals are in those frozen peas.

By the same token I would never eat any of those "huge" western chickens that have been fed hormones to make them so big (and interestingly you don't see those for sale in most of the supermarkets in China).

SIMs are cheap, or IDs are cheap? (or both?)
Probably both (haven't bought the latter though). ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) You can also openly buy things like "mosquito rackets" (electrified mozzie zappers that look like a tennis racket) which are *banned* in many western countries. I didn't know these were banned - reasoning? We've always had a couple of them around the house here (in Thailand). Sounds like many things are the same here. Sim cards easy to get without ID anywhere, even 7-11, and food - you never know where it came from but luckily most of what we eat is local from village neighbours.

They certainly are in Australia (got two of them confiscated in customs) and being battery operated ones (using I think 4 D cells) I find it hard to believe that they could hurt anything much bigger than a mozzie. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I believe Chinese people will have more freedom than Americans, in 2 or 3 decades.
Certainly, but not through any merit of their own.

What I was thinking is that someone living in a country that doesn't allow bitcoin (doing deep packet inspection or something) could travel to a country where it is allowed and issue loads of addresses with small amounts of bitcoin, and then come back and use email to send the coins, sending a list of private keys that would make the total amount in the correspondent bitcoin addresses, the desired value to send. To receive coins, ask the payer to send them also in "bitcoin quanta", let's call it like that, using email and PGP, sending for that matter a list of private keys that would sum to the total value of that payment. Am I making sense? Is that sending the private key to an address with a lot of money is risky. And having them 'quantized' makes it less risky; and seems to work well for sending and receiving the coins with email and PGP.

Will China ever ban email? E-mail is trivially easy to gather for surveillance. State will never step against it because more secure and hidden means of internet communication will replace it.

I love my mozzie bat! The handle unscrews and I plug it into the wall to recharge. A friend of the family was importing them here into Australia - I had no idea they were banned. It gives a nice little nip when you push your finger into it. Enough to scare .. but hard to see how it could be dangerous. I expect the ban comes under the same law that restricts tazers and any tazer like device. They probably think people will modify them and beef them up into weapons.
