'I want to fuck you with my red hot car...' :-) I don't know if it is still policy there, but I'd heard they'd tried to censor electronic music in the past for being too bourgeouis, presumably because most Chinese can't afford synthesizers. Now this isn't a uniquely Chinese problem, other Asian countries have rumbled in the past about western music exciting too many passions - just as there were complaint in 30s America that 'Jas' was an evil tool of Africans to corrupt the morals of white maidenhood.

They're a bizarre bunch of extremists...Mind you Saudi Arabia is not much better, but they have oil and spend money to buy western arms, so that's all right, then. (warning: sarcasm alert). Well i don't want to go on about political stuff. I only mentioned Afghanistan because this is a music list and AFAIK Afghanistan is the first country ever to ban music within its borders.
