This is a call for discussion about gatewaying CHINA-NT@UGA and the
usenet newsgroup talk.politics.china.  Currently a one-way gateway 
between the two groups already exists, which was done by adding the 
usenet mail gateway address talk.politics.china@usenet.ucs.indiana.edu
into the subscriber list of CHINA-NT@UGA.  The current discussion
is for upgrading the gateway to a two-way gateway. The following
is excerpted from a message I just posted to CHINA-NT:

Some background info for unaware netters: for a while now, the
messages from China-NT has been relayed to the usenet newsgroup
talk.politics.china, but the articles are not relayed in the opposite
direction.  Netters on the both groups have been actively participating 
in the discussions of many topics related to Chinese politics. However, it
has been very frustrating that the responses posted to talk.politics.china
are often not seen by the author of the messages being replied to 
since they are on CHINA-NT.

So here I would like to propose that a two-way gateway be established
between CHINA-NT and talk.politics.china, i.e., all messages on
talk.politics.china will be relayed to China-NT just as all messages
on China-NT are relayed to talk.politics.china now.

This measure will result in an increase in traffic volume for
China-NT. However, this increase probably will not be overwhelming
since the majority of articles appear on talk.politics.china in
recent weeks has been China-NT relays.

It is also my hope that the relaying of talk.politics.china
articles will help dilute the non-China related articles which
have been rather prevalent on China-NT nowadays, although I can't
guarantee that this hope is fulfillable.

Followups are directed to bit.admin and talk.politics.china.
