I don't think you can make the comparison that way Fuzi. All countries have laws that are more important or less important from time to time. However, China seems to have a knack of leaving all unsaid so that, on a day to day basis, nobody knows what is correct and what is not. The best example of this is the Net Nanny. Wikipedia is blocked. No it is unblocked. No certain pages are blocked. No Wikipedia is blocked. Or is it? No, it is unblocked. But Xiao Zhang got this page to work... etc.

Perhaps the same scenario is happening as happens here in the USA occasionally. Many laws go unenforced, sometimes for many years. But suddenly due to some other influence, perhaps a re-election of an official or some official has gotten himself into trouble and thus needs some high-profile distraction to draw attention away from himself... you get it. The laws that had been largely forgotten are suddenly enforced with a vengeance. Now instead of the official's peccadilloes being aired on the evening news, we get the "perp walk" of various offenders.
