Here's an alternative to the conspiracy theory: Notice that many of the China nodes have the nickname 'Unnamed'. This is what you'll get if you don't set a Nickname -- for example, if you click the "turn me into a server" button in Vidalia. Also, you use the default exit policy when you click that button in Vidalia. It's already been established informally through other measurements that we have tens of thousands of Tor users in China. So the alternative theory is that a slightly larger (but still quite small) percentage of Chinese users have chosen to click the button in Vidalia. > In opposite to the other major players: > > https://torstat.xenobite.eu/showstatistics.php > > (down below that page) Nice stats pages! --Roger
