    The problem here being these payment processors are global and none of this is illegal in the jurisdictions affected. This regional blocking, while nice, shouldn’t even need to be a “solution” to this. It’s a sledgehammer “solution” to something that was never enough of an issue for actual legislation.

    Edit: clarify point

      Right, my point is that Visa shouldn’t care if an American is buying something that’s illegal in China, if the product is not allowed for sale in China.
