I'd certainly like to hear more about this debate. Although I have no 
use for the Chinese "Communist" Party and have to accept on first 
blush the IP addresses that indicate Chinese state origins, it does 
not make any *political sense*. Why would the Chinese government 
attack a scholarly website like MIA? I can see it going after that 
Chinese labor site whose material I crosspost from time to time, but 
why go after MIA? You really can't find anything there that is of 
immediate danger to the Chinese ruling class. I imagine that 
ultimately it will be of use to those fighting to restore socialism, 
but there's no threat of that for a while.
