I love your stuff.

That’s interesting.
I bet China could otherwise be a big business for you (?).
NMA is Taiwanese, right? Do China’s firewall restrictions apply in Taiwan, too?

Would be interested to hear more.

We upload from our site, NMA.TV every so often just to see what happens,,,,, always non-political subjects. It lasts about 24 hours. Even when we get our stuff ripped off, which is often, it only stays up for a while.

My point is that with so much interference in market one has to wonder if even a merger can save these two as to most in China it will simply be an even bigger turkey, with the folks on the net always looking for the real thing.

I just question the value of either if there is an opening, and while closed I see little hope as they act too much like an arm of the state.
