Utterly horrifying. Especially when you realize that merely accessing Google is illegal in China...As I understand it, he was fined exactly the amount he earned over 3 years of a job where he was using a VPN.Oh, in that case it's not horrifying at all. Who doesn't keep 3 years of past salary in their checking account for the occasional rainy day?
