It's not surprising. China just adds itself to the list of countries with "you do it over there, but you don't do it here" laws.

* China fabricates propaganda on Facebook, but bans it at home.

* Germany manufactures and exports firearms, but tightly regulates them at home.

* The US manufactures and exports cigarettes and pharmaceuticals, but tightly regulates them at home.

* Israel markets binary option trading scams to the rest of the world, but bans them at home.

* Russia produces malware, but only punishes anyone who unleashes it at home.

There's a lot to be said about the credibility of products and services that governments won't let their own people have access to but freely sell to the rest of the world.
