That's true about China but then agian 99% of the landmass, where most of the people live don't even have internet access and those that do are generally restricted in every area of internet use because for some reason they pj34r that the people will be overcome by western values such as being able to do what you like when you like. I'd be surprised if China allowed it's people to use IRC. I know that some actually do though I am not sure it's lawful. Note how mIRC doesn't have a mirror there. If it was lawful they'd surely need at least one.
