Freedom of speech ?
ftfs, David irving was put into jail because he debated the holocaust, so nobody mentions "Freedom of speech that we have in the west".
People get imprisoned because of their ideas and beliefs so stfu
And then he stepped Down
From the Heavens
To judge the unworthy,
To redeem the pure.

I find it highly ironic that you, an American (I assume) are talking about another country throwing people in jail and torturing them.
Why do you "assume" he is American?
Because like 98% of the world, he is looking for a reason to smack the evil nation with that anti-christ president George Bush.
Because we all know that americans are demons reincarnated in the bodies of morbidly obese people who have the average IQ of 12 and destructive state of mind to kill everyone and take over small innocent countries who would do no harm for their natural resources.
I mean, what has Iraq ever done? Nothing! They were a nice peaceful nation ran by the merciful all-knowing dictator ****** until the devils of america came and killed all the innocent women and children.
Ok, sarcasm over.

What did Iraq do then? Iraq was no threat to the US at all. They did have a crazy and cruel dictator but alot of other countries got that also but I dont see America aka the world police and saviour of everything holy liberating them from the evil men.

I cant even begin to imagine the latency issues they must be having... is there even hardware available to CCP at any price that can handle those sort of numbers? I mean.. it could get much worse couldnt it? 200k players online at the same time? Wouldnt that require some sort of NASA computer.
Surely they must shard for EVE to work over there?

Why should an entertainment corporation like CCP have loyalty to anything but its board of directors?
As for systems of representation in less privatized countries like China (or even many privatized countries, like Dubai) for example, you have to look beyond the spectacle of institutions and follow how policy gets implemented. That's comparative political science 101.
In a republic, you have representatives that are selected in some means to which most surrender. Ostensibly, this represents the majority of whatever is most valued (or acquiesed to) by that populace. This could be money, or headcounts, or headcounts of the people with money, whoever's got a head when the militaries are done (although some that don't still get counted).
You can follow distinct modes of representation in different fields if you choose to isolate them. Modes of representation in military choices (technocratic, or personality-ordered institutions). There are often distinct modes for purely political representation on cultural responses to new factors which varies between melting pot cultures and more centralized ones.
Most importantly, is representation in economic matters. This is the most observable aspect of any government, and thus, it is usually the most complex and obfuscated. In most western liberal republics, there tends to be little distinction between remaining parties on economic matters simply because these are such catalyzing narratives. By hook or by crook, minorities in these fields are universally eliminated (example: majoritarian), or rendered impotent (proportional represenation).
In a country with representatives as the primary thespians, yes, people are able to explicitly report their meaningless support of a candidate and his views. These views, by incontrovertable laws of political economy, tend to become more and more centrist over time (otherwise he does not tend to be a viable candidate). Pork makes things move along where capital would not otherwise provide and serves as the central economic function of government aside from enforcement of accounting practices in the formal economy.
In a country with no elections, representation still exists. It always exists. As much as a military government enforces its will over a populace, individuals within that hierarchical structure are still in competition with one another. As a result, when they look to take new moves with the government, they seek out the more obvious will of the populace by less spectacular means. When such a system is in play, the day to day management of pork in such a system can in fact be more responsive to the will of the populace than a system which only checks the pulse of popular opinion every few years.
The main business of any regime is to assauge the complaints of whatever residual citizenry survive. This holds for every last nation-state in the contemporary world. Measures of repression are also taken in all of those countries, only differing in form, and are uniformly pursued as a compensating response to recover the primary agenda.

I agree with that also, freedom of speech is smomething that should exist everywhere.
It already does - it's just that in some countries you can be imprisoned and/or tortured and/or killed for exercising it. Freedom (of speech or anything else) is not something that can be given to us by governments of any type, democratic or otherwise. It's something we have by virtue of our conscious nature as human beings and which we are subsequently convinced to ignore or fail to use by authorities. (Anyone planning to go watch V for Vendetta btw?  )
That's the root of the argument against companies censoring their products to suit the demands of states such as China - it's one thing for states to enforce submission through use or threat of violence, but another when we blithely submit ourselves for the sake of only comfort or profit. It's been suggested that when people who have relatively few restrictions or punishments for exercising our freedoms fail to dissent (whether as individuals or as companies) it does a disservice to the far greater number of people around the world who face genuine danger for speaking up.

Back on topic, I'm curious.
I highly doubt that CCP themselves are taking care of all the infrastructure for their Chinese servers, so which company is responsible? I know that, lately, WoW have had terrible press about their China servers because the company managing them has been unable to look after servers that are under constant high demand. Are CCP using the same company?
