Yup - this is good news for us. Hope the Chinese authorities see sense and let everyone else in its country have the same access soon. After all, information is to objects and people what gas is to solids and liquids - it can't be contained for any significant amount of time, it can't be destroyed by throwing solids and liquids at it and attempts to do either simply exerts pressure which costs resources to manage.

I thought for a minute you had solved the problem of the Red Bull non existent ride height changer. ;) :D

You're so right though about the Chinese authorities situation, you can restrain anyone physically but restricting their thoughts and aspirations is impossible long term as well as counter productive.

How about this for a proper solution:

Don't put races in totalitarian dictatorships!

yeah cossie, another solution is to get rid of the evil regime that controls China. My hope is the Chinese people rise up soon and overwhelm them - it is only a matter of time.

Not going to happen.  The leaders have read 1984, and know what they're doing.

That would be plasma (it's not banned in the regulations, though of course the theory presupposes Red Bull even is changing the car in parc fermé). An overlooked state of matter is plasma.
