    China is/was a Communism country.

    They don't/didn't want foreigners to sell some goods in their country because it could/did make their citizens question their governments propaganda.

    At least that's what i think.

    I also think that was/is the main reason for the ongoing ban. Here's hoping that China doesn't take over the world in my lifetime...
