If your moral compass has no problem buying Chinese made goods, you 
should have no moral problem buying porn. Otherwise, I would think as 
soon as they have another revolution and the people are not killed or 
imprisoned for their views, forced to work in Western sweat shops, etc.  
The basic human rights issues that some have voiced concern about the 
porn industry exist several orders of magnitude greater in China.
