China, that paragon of free speech, with support from Korea and the United States, has put forth a proposal that ALL IP traffic be traceable. Wired, wireless, whatever, everything should be logged and have the ability to identify the specific computer from which it originated.

I don't see any problems with that. [/sarcasm]

One of the Slashdot comments hits the nail on the head: "The problem I see, is that the badguys will be able to hide just as well as they are now (by for using a machine they do not own, like with a botnet), but the goodguys and -gals will have less anonimity." Just like DRM, the people who obey the law will be inconvenienced, while the bad guys will ignore it.
