There are two problems with this statement. Firstly we can not be doing protocol design via political lobbying - this is not a scientific approach and for sure leads to disaster; it is not the colour of the paint on the box, it is the security of the system. Secondly as I understand it the Chinese miners did this under duress of threats of worse as a compromise beyond what they felt they could safely cope with. > With regards to China's international bandwidth, not only is intra-Asia > capacity improving all the time, a major consortium cable FASTER is > coming online Q2 2016.
