Yea i can agree but how about extending the sending time by another 10-20 days?
I have a china card i just sent and now i will be waiting upwards of 9 weeks for it to be received if it will be registered at all. It actually happens in a variety of coutnries.
Ive had a lot lately for some reason maybe its the economic downturn, staff laid off, war in ukraine, climate change or summer vacations.
Yup and it indirectly becomes the sender’s issue. It’s extremely frustrating especially for those playing chain cards, which in my case, I’ve cards sent as early as Jan/Feb this year that has yet to arrive … I don’t get many China addresses for official Post-crossing so I had just a couple that expired these couple of months…
This suggestion was already made, please have a look: 
It is definitely better to block China than to block senders’ accounts for the fact that it was the recipient who did not register the card. That is what is happening now. China should not have popped up in the draw a long time ago. At least since they don’t register postcards. 
Because it is the sender who is being punished for this, wrongly. I hope all those accounts that pc wrongly blocked will now be unblocked.
Cassisia I am allowed to give my opinion even if its been said 100s of times before me thats what a forum is. I also offered less number of days!!
Why dont we also stop mail to Russia, Germany and maybe even USA then also since those are countries most on my expired cards too. In fact im waiting and probably never hear from another I just sent out to China costing me $AU3.40 plus the postcards and stickers I add to all my postcards. I also do pen pals and I dont mind not getting it back straightaway but I guess youre not really use to waiting up to 3 weeks for mail including packages between 1-2 oceans going up to 16 000 km!
It says temporary so why not push it out for 10-15 days at least then you may have a chance of getting some pc registered. The world isnt over from the covid, my country is in winter, the flu, economic downturn, less workers in jobs especially postal workers, we have floods as well. My hours at works are cut back too. Theres also less mail days for me down by 40% done by the govt for flat mail. the list is endless…Thinking outside your own world is helpful on these topics. I also think you missed the point of “temporary”. Even for 3 months could help.
I didn’t say that you’re not allowed to give your opinion, I wrote “please have a look” because I assumed that you didn’t see that the suggestion of more traveling days was already discussed, as topic is very long and you didn’t refer to the suggestion.
In my opinion, repeating things that already have been said in a long topic and discussing them again isn’t helpful - especially in slow mode, due to the the topic’s escalation - so I quoted the part where you find the information.
Postcrossing doesn’t stop giving out adresses of other countries because the stats have shown a massive problem of delivery of cards in China, but not in Russia, Germany or USA.
As an aside to the discussion, I was excited to receive 2 cards FROM China today! I feel this is a “shift” in the right direction. Cheers!
I do receive postcards from abroad these months. But none of my postcards arrived in recent 1 months. I also feel suffering from injustice.
I think you should bring the data into open.
And if you keep this suspension, please show this notification at “send a postcard”. We even don’t know we will receive nothing when we send a postcard!
As I told before: That is not correct - you definitive will get a card back for every sent card that will be registered.
I don’t want to rain on your parade, but this all is about postcards TO China (and not from China). 
No worries… I am just trying to put a positive spin on the situation!
I agree that more users may see this announcement and discussion if it’s a blog post too.
What data do you feel has been hidden? The relevant information has been shared now multiple times in a thorough and straightforward manner.
A good solution!!

I will certainly complain to Postcrossing Team then.

2. If cards to accounts in China do not arrive, those accounts will be automaticly blocked. Sending cards is then impossible until you register received cards. It’s a waiting game.
You can update your address and choose for registering travelling cards, so you are safe.
Or complain to Postcrossing Team.

3. In the end we ALL are blocked because of too many expired postcards to China - or not registering postcards that are sent to China.
Good news
4. We all can continue our fabulous hobby. Postcards that are due to China postcrossers will be mailed as soon as possible.
Keep on going!
I don’t understand what is the injustice of your postcards not arriving (it happens all the time, and one month is not very long) and what relation it has with postcards not being delivered in China 
We all send it.Your post system might can’t be send by China Post.
Exciting news: i had an 86 days expired card to China. It just got registered! I really thought it had gotten lost 
2 cards traveling to China and both expired.
But still hoping they will arrive.
Card 1: 148 on its way (to Shanghai)
Card 2: traveling 87 days. (to Zhejiang)
Receiver of card 1 has registered some cards in the last two weeks.
I am a Chinese girl - I just participated in Postcrossing for a week. I admit that China Post is very slow in receiving and sending foreign postcards. Maybe there is a postal problem On the website, I negotiated the English version of the Chinese address, and I was afraid that I could not receive the postcards. I just want to show that I am really serious, sincere and careful in sending postcards, and I hope that my recipients can receive my postcards At the same time, I also want to receive postcards from all over the world, I like to see a different world, I like to see different scenery and different culture, especially in the case that I can not travel abroad, I feel connected with the world, I hope Paul can restore China’s mail route as soon as possible, so that Chinese people can play post Crossing, I hope my mailbox will be filled with postcards. I also have a small request. If China’s mail route is restored, can the number of postcards sent by Chinese players be sent by foreigners in the days when the lottery is not allowed for Chinese players? thank you
Sad to hear this. As a new PC user, I gotta admit that how “lucky” I am.
But what’s even more interesting is that you don’t even give other users a choice. Why can’t you set up an option to let people choose whether they want to send postcards to mainland China? That shouldn’t be too hard to do, right? 
For mainland Chinese users, the message is surely like "I give a lot, but there is no chance of return."
It’s disappointing.
