Sending Emails to China Is Fun.
If for some reason the email gets sent back to you, they kindly give you a list of all the people that they let read the email you tried to send.

I wonder how long the "Great Internet Wall of China" will last?

You would think that they'd have learnt their lesson the last time 'round....the wall didn't stop the Mongols, nor will this one stop the free flow of information....'tis only a matter of time, methinks.

My friend just got an email yesterday, I sent there a month ago. That's about as fast as regular mail.

Is it read by as many people though? Think of it as bringing joy to the dreary life of a government inspector.

I only get to see who reads it if it doesn't make its destination. I'm not sure why. I just copy and paste the same email and send it again. Then it makes it through. Also, this seems to happen with only China based email providers.

You should put in stuff about how the plans are proceeding to assassinate Premier Yu and to steal nuclear secrets
