On sr.ht at least the issues would stay distributed in contributor's email inboxes in the event of a takedown. Maybe they'd even keep it up despite questionable takedown notices, like youtube-dl.org's host did (not surprisingly unlike the MS-owned repo host, given it's an RIAA member).

Another solution to issue loss would be embedding the issues in the repo, as some already extant tools do.

Maybe laws don't apply on gitee ? (Chinese GitHub)

Did I just read that correctly? WAT!

Try hosting code on gitee that mentions Winnie the Pooh, tank man, or _____________.

I think that comment was referring to Western IP laws.

It's funny that all of these type of comments mention Winnie the Pooh when I'm pretty sure this is a reddit injoke they've convinced themselves is important. Does anyone in China know they're supposed to be epically owned when you say that?

It doesn't really matter what the offense is, but if the CCP feels offended, say bye bye.

Sure, but has it offended the CCP so far? If not, celebratory posting as if you’ve been censored when you haven’t sort of makes you a poser.

> Sure, but has it offended the CCP so far?

Images of Pooh and his Chinese name have been censored in mainland China, the movie Christopher Robin wasn’t allowed to release there, and a South Park episode about it got the whole show banned.
