As a follow-up to my previous post where I described how laggy and weird the internet connection in my China hotel was. Well, it seems I was actually correct in my suspicions. I just read in the Wall Street Journal today the following and I quote
"The China government blocks any site with words that might indicate objectionable content, according to University of California at Davis researchers. Although the blocking is inconsistent. 28% of Web sites with blacklisted words still reached their destination"

Hmmm if you play online poker in China and win would you be liable for taxes in China ? Wonder how that would work...
Hmm.. good question...I'm guessing it would depend on whether you are a Chinese citizen or not.
But here in the Philippines, I'm pretty sure nobody declares online wins. And I don't think the BIR has any way of checking.
One of the advantages of living in a 3rd world country, heheh
