I guess china can do what they want..
But I have a hard time believing they're going to make a big list of non-american webmasters to arrest on arrival

I don't think so, so it's likely a mute point right now for non US citizens. Unless you became a target. In reality, if you do business inside the US with US customers, then legally you are bound by US laws, even if you live outside the US.
Now if you would be put on an arrest on arrival list I have no clue, I would doubt it unless they had you targeted for something. Meaning they likely wouldn't arrest you for not complying with something like 2257 but if they suspected or had proof you were deal in CP or something like that then they likely would.
Would likely work the same for any country, not just the US. It's just like when China and Germany were threating webmasters out side their countries a few years back.
Anyway this isn't a topic about what's right or wrong or what a govt can or can't do. Rather a topic asking what other webmasters plan to do. Seems no one has any plans or they don't care yet.
