So you really have no idea what you are talking about...

Yes genius, China can take down sites hosted in China, and that's the
whole point. By hosting sites in China, only sites that do not violate
government standards will be allowed to stay up, all other sites will
by law have to be taken down.

The direct outcome: sites that do not violate government standards
will be accessible to Chinese users. Contrast that with the current
situation, where China cannot order the take down of sites that
violate their government standards and as a result has to resort to
blanket blocking of all GAE sites.

I thought that was painfully obvious...
