Please stop redirecting http://www.mozilla.com/ to http://firefox.com.cn/ ! Appeal from chinese!

It's so difficult to getting an original Firefox chinese version !
And that's just somebody wanted to be.

In fact, i visited this url, and i was redirected to another:
http://firefox.com.cn/

The final downdload url was:
http://download.firefox.com.cn/releases/webins2.0/official/zh-CN/Firefox-latest.exe

I selected "Other platform/ Other Languages" to go to another web
page, the download url is the same.

I tried to install this version, and i found that it's not the
original official version.
It's a gibbed chinese version! I don't really like it.

I don't just want to get a download version.
In fact, I have got a original firefox version, from the url you gived
http://www.firefox.com
But, I must set my browser's language to English! Shit!
So, i can reach: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/
The real download url i got was:
http://pv-mirror01.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/5.0.1/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%205.0.1.exe

I'm an IT expert, and i'm also a software engineer, what a normal user
can do this?

I post a message to a local society network:
"How can i get a original firefox version, how can they do like this!"

And i got some response like this: "They had been brazen for a long
time!"

To popularize the gibbed chinese version, they blocked the original
version.

I dont' say anything more on this, I think these behavior violate the
spirit of Firefox.

I'm not just for myself.
These localizers are disgusting!
It's shameful of being a chinese.

Don't redirect mozilla.com to http://firefox.com.cn/ again,
Please!
Give people more choises!
People would find their chinese site easily from search engines.

I think the chinese localizing is unvalued,
The addons bundled in that are unnecessary.
The original chinese version is good enough!

Thanks for your input. Two ways to help you right away:

You can get an a Chinese version of Firefox without the Mozilla-Online
addons on http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html#zh-CN. There are
also early-bird builds on http://www.mozilla.com/zh-CN/firefox/channel/,
might also be a nicer page to link to.

I would also hope that you can disable the Mozilla-Online addons in the
builds from firefox.com.cn in the add-ons manager and get to the same
result. If that's not the case, I'd like to know. Also, any particular
feature that throws you off?

As for your request to not redirect to the Mozilla Online site, I lack
the context to comment on that, but I wanted to get the download links
your way already.
