China has, for a while now, had a policy of censoring internet content at the major data inroads to the country, in order to "protect" the populace from outside propaganda and influences (the internal stuff is okay). What if we started refusing to serve to China? Would the government collapse under the burden of faking external traffic, too? Would the populace rebel, demanding the net services they desire? Would the whole country just collapse into an information dark age, rendering both sides of the face-off irrelevant? I guess there's only one way to find out.

PS - Recently they have demanded that website owners register with them.
PPS - It's unclear whether this edict is meant to extend to the whole world or just China.
