At Last, China Targets Its Spammers

BusinessWeek has an article about China and spam. Okay, we realise that origin of spam are buried somewhere - just recently did we point to a study that mentioned the US as the main source of spam (http://asiabusinessconsulting.blogspot.com/2004_08_01_asiabusinessconsulting_archive.html ).

The truth is probably somewhere in between - spammers shift there operations and when the Chinese regulators start cracking down on them, they will move to a different place. And than, in a couple of weeks or months, we will mention that a different location has been identified as souce of spam.

Fact is that countries start looking more seriously at spam as disturbance. May be one can see this in relation to recent trends in Asia to clean up their house and become more business friendly and transparent. To be associated with spam might not necessarily support this image.
