While I do think that the IAOC should be aware of the potential legal implications of where we hold our meetings, I wonder if we are treating China unfairly in this discussion...
I agree. So-far, we have always assumed that discussions on crypto as well as writing, testing and using code during the meeting were legal in the country. And if they weren't, we'd assume that the local policy would not notice. China is not different in this respect.
Perhaps this is something that we could expect our host to help us determine?
The IAOC is in contact with the host about all the issues raised on the list (and then some more).
