    Absolutely, but every post like this is followed by a nay-saying comments. This is a step in the right direction for China, why tarnish a positive with a tangentially related negative, sarcastic and dismissive comment? Furthermore the 500 likes/shares rule, is at least a rule (even if it is ridiculous), in the rest of the world it tends to just be done at random, cherry picking laws to get a prosecution. China is no saint, we all know that, but surely relaxing restrictions should be seen in a positive light and as a sign of overall progression?

      Perhaps they are planning to trial a new foreign commercial intelligence gathering platform with high value trade targets who would congregate in that zone? Fun fact: when the new Shanghai port opened ~2004ish, I did the voiceover for the promo video. (I was double sure to include the phrase: My voice is my password. Verify.)
