Found a nice statement from a German, who lives in China for some time now (Biz), on a forum. He says that laws are one thing and reality is the the other, especially in China. The law requires that prepaid cards must be registered now. Even at official shop nobody really cares and the street dealers could give less then shit.

Makes no difference, at least in European countries. Thanks to retention of data laws everything you do is logged and authorities use those data on a regular base (at least in Germany). I don't know about the situation in the USA but I don't think that the situation is better there. Hasn't some of the big Telcos been granted immunity from prosecution for the illegal tapping they did for the FBI and others?
Like said, it's not like I am a fan the Chinese Gov, but to me it seems like they are just closing up to western standards.
