The Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China has declared AsiaFinest.com in violation of content code: 60021040
Based on your IP, AsiaFinest.com has been blocked off from viewing. Your local Internet service provider has partnered with China's government to comply and filter out websites that the government have deemed in content violation.
China has been trying for many years to force the adoption of strict rules to the 100 million Chinese surfing the Internet. Although Internet usage is encouraged for business and education, the authorities are trying to avoid the appearance of addresses backing civil freedom and democracy. The measures taken by the Chinese government include shutting down several Internet cafés, but also some sites and blogs, considered as subversive, including AsiaFinest.com. Presently being blocked off from viewing, complex filters have deemed the content of AsiaFinest.com in violation of the strict regulations being enforced.

New York, NY– Despite considerable growth and economic loosening in China over the past few decades, the government has maintained strict control over the flow of information. Internet restrictions ban websites that feature pornography, critical political speech, or sensitive historical topics such as the Tiananmen Square massacre. International news agencies, such as the BBC's Chinese-language service, and online encyclopedias, such as Wikipedia, are just some of the many websites being acquiesced to this censorship.
The Chinese government enforces its code with roughly a dozen agencies, policing Internet cafes, monitoring private use electronically, and strongly encouraging citizens to rat each other out. Thousands of websites are shut down each year, their curators facing potential jail sentences.
These restrictions are being denounced by human rights groups around the world never the less the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission, a research body created by Congress, recently called for legislation requiring American Internet firms to demand a court order from Chinese authorities before revealing information about a user. The law would also require US Internet companies to report such information requests to the US
Ben Li, President of AsiaFinest.com, is facing a maximum sentence of 4106 days in jail, and a fine up to $4,012,006 if he re-launch AsiaFinest.com. When asked for his comment, Mr. Li replied, "Whatever happened to freedom of speech? I hope all our members cancel their current ISP and find one that doesn't block our site.”
