Just heard the news headlines on irish radio and they mention Guns N' Roses and Chinese Democracy. They mentioned how its caused outrage amongst some chinese on-liners. The pro-Communist Global Times said the record, entitled Chinese Democracy, had sparked outrage among Chinese internet users.
It claimed they called it part of a plot by some in the West to "grasp and control the world using democracy as a pawn". Sky News story here: http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Showbiz-News/Guns-N-Roses-Return-With-Chinese-Democracy---Controversial-Album-That-Sparks-Anger-In-China/Article/200811415160296

Nothing new to Axl, he's been rubbing people up the wrong way for years! Now he's got the communists on his back!  peace

It just wouldn't be a Guns N' Roses album if it didn't stir up controversy.

I like how they seemed to be shocked that this was going to be the title of the album.

If China didn't have a corrupt regime in it's past, they wouldn't have anything to worry about. Mao Tse Tung is a fucking joke. Anyone who is narrowminded enough to willingly follow his theory is fucked up even more so.

Leon Trotsky was the only true communist. He was the only one who knew what was up, and how to go about achieving true economic equality.

Dutch article in a Belgian newspaper (Het Nieuwsblad) saying that according to the 'Global Times', China believes the GN'R album is a 'Western conspiracy against China'

It is not clear yet that Chinese authorities blocked the songs online...

Isn't that some great promotion??  Huh

GREAT!  Wink  Grin  ok  peace

They are probably a little slow on the info stream, I'd imagine they just found out about Elvis passing last week.

Man, China knew about this when the title was first announced but like most of the world didn't think it would ever see the light of day so it didn't matter. Now that this is out they have to act. But China is creating a serious problem for our government in terms of hacking into pentagon computers. There was a crazy report on CNN last week about Chinese hackers employed by the government. Remember the U.S.A. owes China in the Trillions and now China is a bigger player in Space then NASA. Read up on the Mining preparations for the moon going down in 2020. China is not to be fucked with and you are either with them, or they will chew you up. And there is zero tolerance to anything anti-Chinese government. Even if that is peaceful like monks.

F China.

MSN has an article about this as well.  Sounds like the censorship in China is ridiculous.

Maybe China should do something about the way they run their country.
