A word of warning, we use English (Queens English in America) here rather
than American, (English in America). You will soon spot the differences

I am not sure about how things work in mainland China, but if you can find
a newsserver, and a newsreader to subscibe to usenet newsgroups you will
find it much easier to use than Google Groups which IME is by far the worst
way of access usenet. You can see only new posts, which *you* haven't
read, and do lots of fancy things not available on Google Groups.
