Default RE:China to shut down gambling websites

HAd heard of a BIG BUST week and a half ago,

apparently they took the customer lists and were calling the gamblers and extorting money.

China will launch a nationwide overhaul of access to gambling websites
IOW nationwide cyber nanny-note blocking the whole country from accessing certain sites would be characteristic of a police state, since it beyond obvious some of you have no clue what that is.
