Not sure about this. Over the past two or three years, ku6, ppstream, youku, tudou, and Tencent TV all started georestriction. It seems there's some government restriction in play.
- nekojima 15y agoJust chatting to a senior exec at one of those sites and he said for them it was in part because they don't get ad revenues from viewers outside of mainland and the cost of external bandwidth was too high to service overseas Chinese and others viewing the videos, for which they get little or no monetary benefit.
