Tech-like question about China (the country)

Posted:
in General Discussion edited January 2014
There are a myriad of unsettling rumors afloat about China's customs policies.



I'm gonna be moving to China next month or so, and I wanted to know of someone who's been there, or who has privileged knowledge: will I have trouble getting my tech-equipment into the country?



I'm talking about my iBook, one or two external hard drives and a digital camera mainly, but you can count my iPod and cell phone as well, probably (or are European style dual band GSM's useless over there?).



Who knows? An internet penny for your help.

    HK had GSM, CDMA, and TDMA systems when I was last there in '96,

    and all of the companies offering those formats in HK were active on the mainland, but Tonton (HK) or one of our other China-based members can chime in with the latest official word on supported phones.



    Shouldn't be any problems importing those basic digital devices into the PRC...

    basically, the only problems you'll have are getting web data from China.



    All Internet traffic is proxied by the Communist Government.

    (You won't get any search results for 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre, for example... blocked)
