China severely restricts internet access to sites based in the rest of the world. I'm guessing the content of the Gallery (at times) and the free flow of ideas in the Forums (Fora ) would make their list of sites to be banned. I'm sure there are millions of film users in China however.

I was in Beijing in May of this year. Film is available pretty well everywhere as long as you want colour print. Professional films from Ilford, Kodak and Fuji are also available but only from professional suppliers. Most of the cameras I saw for sale were digital point and shoots. Mind you I didn't go with the aim of making any purchases. Virtually every Chinese tourist I saw had some form of digital camera.
