Might it be a bit like the US restricting dual-use technology for export? If so, anyone local (to there) who passes this stuff on to you could be thought of as a spy, or worse, by the authorities. And which might be why it's only available in China in the first place.
Might someone explain those chinese pages behavior? Why all content is paid?
Even forum threads have a paid wall, but I've seen lots of GPL code sold there.
https://www.pudn.com was great until the goverment closed it a while ago, used it for years to find all kind of chinese obscure resources, code, datasheets... Now it became the same crap.
Pay, pay, pay, probably most of the content is rubbish, but you won't see what you're getting until already paid.

Nothing like that. It's just weird nationalistic stuff they have going on. There's all sorts of stuff that is freely available elsewhere that's here. The stuff I am looking for isn't controlled - some test software and calculators for a radio chip and an IDE and compiler for a long obsolete microcontroller family. At most it's copyright, but that only means these companies are profiting off of other people's works...
That said, I am still looking for the two things I posted. As said before I am willing to pay to get them.
I can try it tomorrow, if what I need to pay is <$1, I'll get it for you (and you may paypal me some money or not).
CSDN is a nasty site, pretty similar to Scribd, you usually need to pay to get files with dodgy licensing. It has nothing to do with governmental restrictions, but only some selfish d***heads want to profit from user generated contents.
Those di**heads are asking for CNY 88=$13 for a month of VIP, which seems too be the cheapest way of getting a single download after fighting with the sh**ty webpage for a while. PM me if you really want the file and is willing to pay (I'm not going to join the Ponzi Scheme by uploading my files).
Now you're the paywall, just upload a bunch of rubbish like on Scribd if it works. Naming it poorly will help give it the exposure it deserves.
