you write like an experienced toilet wall scribbler
slimy little comments from your anonymous security
Come back when you have a real name and some courage
Be serious Vince.

If you were a Chinaman posting to Usenet would you use your real name?

Especially if you still had family back there?

Think what could happen if there was a change in policy and you were down on
Google as supporting the old discredited policy, even if it was the party
line at the time.

Your granny would end up being 're-educated, your parents would lose their
home, and any siblings you have there would spend a couple of weeks being
questioned in some cellar lit by an unshaded bulb that doesn't get switched
off at night.

He's not going to tell you his real name...

Why shouldn't he use his real name ?
He posts like a wholly owned subsidiary of the PRC.

You are assuming fairness in a communist country! Following the Party
line did not save Russian officers in the run up to WW2 or privates at
the end of the war. In China the Cultural Revolution sent the middle
classes to work the fields. The current lets work like capitalists will
go out of fashion, possibly under the next leader.
