I used Witopia last year for a while and found it to be terrible: slow and unreliable.

I'm having intermittent connectivity failures with gmail, gmail chat, google calendar and maps.google.com.

I'd imagine it's part of a concerted effort to shift Chinese users to Chinese-based providers of cloud-based services by making google appear unreliable, even though it is anything but.

I've stood idly by watching this car wreck unfold for too long.

This is an internet forum thread, and yet, for some reason, it reads more like a polite and rational discussion about culture, society and a bunch of other boring mumbo-jumbo.

Where's the vitriol, the gall, the hate? Why has nobody been called a knob end yet?

Daliluver and danmairen are the real retards. I'd like to see either of you handle a press conference in Chinese, much less get to the Australia Open final.

All I know is that when pandas go to the States, they live the good life: fresh-picked bamboo, legions of adoring fans, panda porn and seven digits a year in pure unadulterated bank.
