http://www.asiafinest.com, AsiaFinest has been shut down by China
This site is now being mirrored so you can still access it

China has no influence in America except for it's economy, stock market and cheap goods.
Other than that I believe that America government would support this freedom of speech since American media has been b!tching about Tibetian issues since last year.
Besides CCP would probably have this site filtered since it had promote bad press about it.

Okay, I admit it, it got me. You can't blame me after working 10+ hours in the sun all day, coming onto AF and seeing that. I forgot it was April fools hours ago, and I thought that was so cool that AF got in trouble laughing thinking how funny it would be to try to contact me for involvement in Iraq. lol

Had AF been really shut down by the PRC, would AF members rally together and do a "Free AsiaFinest" movement demonstration at the Chinese embassy?
....or go off and find another forum?
