Chinese operators offer communist ringback tones

Mobile operators in China have a new mobile content offering for their subscribers – communist ringback tones. So when you wait for someone to pick up the line, you can listed to such hits as “Guo Jia” (”Country” in Chinese), and sing along Mao’s favorite songs, or at least their excerpts.

As expected, these were made to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Peoples Republic of China. We don’t have a song to share, but I’m sure you’ll find one on the Interwebs if you search for it.
