China bans the letter N from the internet as Xi Jinping extends grip on power
- noah-kun 9y agoExciting to watch China grow.

- noah-kun 9y agoBecause having only the United States as a super power has limited individual states' agency to follow their own course. The US does everything in it's power to force countries to open up their markets and resources to large multinational corporations. This often results in the poorest folks on earth having their country's natural resources robbed from beneath them. Having another large power means more economic systems can take hold. As for things domestically in China, international groups have found overwhelming satisfaction and support for the government there.

- tachyoff 9y agoI don’t believe Pinyin is particularly popular within China. Might make Wheel of Fortune tough, though.
- _Microft 9y agoWell, if people can't use "N" to convey that message, they might as well pick any other letter. Sounds like a lost cause (for the censors).
