China: Poker's next frontier?

[MrFizzbin]

Excellent post Oliver.... Can I finally stop hearing China, China, China/ Ho, Ho, Ho... in EVERY WPT POST on this site...

BTW the others are right, a represive regiem always strives to control the thoughts and activities of its subjects, just ask Iran, North Korea, the Taliban, Bill Frist & George Bush....

Seriously though China has banned online Multiplayer adventure games like Warcraft, City of Heros and others. What the HECK makes you think they'll say those other activities are bad, but Poker is OK... Just wondering...

What I want to know is, in China, is Chinese Poker just called "Poker"?

In China, poker is nothing new...

They do know how to play poker mostly 5 card stud.
