Prevent ads from blocking other ads is what is most likely about. Thats my reading of the promulgation here http://www.saic.gov.cn/zwgk/zyfb/zjl/xxzx/201607/t20160708_169638.html http://www.saic.gov.cn/zwgk/zyfb/zjl/xxzx/201607/t20160708_1... They key is in 'other legitimate ardvertising' i.e. if you are advertising you cannot block other adverters. Is not about blocking all ads as a consumer. Means NYTimes cant block the ads of Bloomberg or Google cant block the ads from Baidu, as 2 examples. But does not exclude the consumer from blocking everything. BTW for the noobs, this is the way that legislation is written in China. The Central government lays down the principles, then regions figure out how to make it work. After a while the outcomes, case histories, impact/costs are weighed up and a more comprehensive law written up. This is a faster, more efficient way for a developing economy than the western developed economy approach of write the tome for all possible cases, debate for a few years, make legislation. And for ad-blocking i personally use ABP, Sanitize, Ka-Block, and sometimes HideImages, all at the same time because use of internet from China can make everything else slow. And its the ads that drag down the load time of pages. A lot. And i have zero interest in the ad content).
