Steem is a decentralized platform. No one could ban the blockchain because it's P2P. Even government blocks steemit.com, there will be many clones in China. Domains like steemchina.com, steem.cn, steemit.cn are in my hands now. Even all the websites are in the blacklist, there is something like Piston.web. People could run it on it's own computer.
Thats quite true but still wrong. Chinese gov can of course restrict access to Steem blockchain. That's not quite difficult for them.
It will be a cat and mouse game. Sure you can change domain or even IP, but still piston web will still have to connect to some IP than can be banned. Plus you can imagine if this become clearly illegal to use or post on Steem blockchain, i'm not quite sure chinese people will take this risk to use steem and be penalized and pay fines or even go to prison for this.
Governments can shoot you when they declare something illegal. That's a fact. Nobody can oppress steem because it's the blockchain, but people can still be oppressed.
I've some very rich friends in china since i've been doing business with china for years, but they are afraid to take any risk and being involved in something that could be illegal soon or later. So what's the solution to make Steem scale in china and other pro censorship countries ?
@somebody , please let me know how to contact you also to talk about it because we have a team behind that wants to start building a good chinese community and i have chinese whales ready for it, but we can not solve this legal/law/censorship issue for now.
You see when their government banned bitcoin? It didn't stop the miners of China to avoid mining and in fact they are the one contributed a lot in mining field for bitcoin. So it won't affect them if for whenever Chinese government banned steemit too.

That's why Steem is great.
That's incredible and it's why I love the blockchain so much. It will change the world... it technically already is changing it though.
