As you may all know, I or anyone in mainland China uses proxy network,
probably "traveled around the world" to get around the GFW, and
finally get here in the mailing list. So I think the Firefox people
should understand how painful it is for us to live in the shadow of
GFW, and why people are so upset about CNNIC's root cert getting
trusted.

I'm not sure whether it is a smart move to get involve into political
debates as Johnathan said. But I'm sure getting rid of CNNIC's cert
from the trust list is the right thing to do. Millons of Chinese
Firefox users will thank Firefox for its justice. Google stood out, I
thank them! We thank them! We think they are great! If firefox can
remove CNNIC from the trust list, we will thank you too!

Is there anyone who agree with me? Come on, give me some love.

Sincerely,
Wenbo Wang
