> Irony. HTTPS deployment in China is going very ... not bad.

Given Chinese govt has been controlling some CAs, China vs. HTTPS irony is.. well, less of an irony :)

On the "CAs is controlled by state" side, some privacy enthusiasts in China already removed those CAs from their system long ago. Go give them some hug and support: https://github.com/chengr28/RevokeChinaCerts

And of course, in the context of CA, what's truly important is transparency in the audit process and continuous monitoring. Catch them red handed will end their business[0] once and for all. And so far, most of them are rule-abiding.

And it's a question of when, and not if, we require CT logs for every certificate the browser sees.
