What are examples of something which is fair use under chinese law but not under US law? <goes to check the discussion>
In general you should not upload anything that violates US law. Additional standards are set by each community - in terms of free license v. fair use, whether an image is being used effectively on the project, &c.

IANAL, but I suppose three things must be considered:
- US law, where the servers are based
- the country where a work originates
- the country to which the wikipedian belongs.
Thanks, but there is still a problem: If these laws are under conflict, like the local law allows fair-use to some material but the US law doesn't, what should we do. I can't decide whether it should be marked as a copyright violation per US law or just being accepted per local ones? Thanks.
