I did not think it was possible to even do that. I guess you learn something new every day.

[...] 大部分的中国博客写者事实上并没有这么义愤填膺，而且提供了很多办法来应对。有趣的是，我们不仅看到谣言传播的广度，以及附加在其上的另一些情感，包括在TechCrunch评论中，一浪高过一浪的抗议声，还有要求国际谴责的以及反对中国加入世界贸易自由协定的。在最终谣言澄清之前，就连博客保护协会也很轻率的随声附和，大有将谣言传播之势。 [...]

I’m a Canadian who does IT/web/marketing in Beijing and use netvibes to get RSS feeds and feedburner is definitely blocked. There are other rss feeds that get through the firewall so please give us options over here!

Lately I’ve been noticing tons of problems outside the normal blocks of technocrati, wikepedia, etc. One of the main problems is that hotmail is ridiculously slow to load, and on top of that someone is trying to put up an unsecured double load copy of my sign in page to try and steal my passwords….thank god for security checks.

The fallacy of getting around the firewall by using .cn names is false. The only real way of getting around the firewall is to host in China….but then you’re likely to be hosted on a spam server and all your stuff will get blocked anyway by personal/system firewalls(no joke almost every host is a spam farm).

From experience the best way around this problem is to host your sites on dedicated servers that hold no bad info about China and the usual taboo topics. Being on shared servers means that someone on the server could put up something that is banned, and China would ban the whole server.

It’s BS of course. My wife and I own an apartment in Shenyang, China, and travel back and forth frequently between there and MA USA where we own a house. Her family still lives there, and we communicate regularly over email, MSN, Yahoo IM and Gmail. We have never been blocked from looking at a site we want to see in China, never been blocked in any way from using an IM client, and never had a communications problem with email or the internet mail programs such as Gmail and Hotmail.

Personally, I think it’s so much propaganda. There are no blocks that I’m aware of on websites in China, certainly not to sites that I regularly visit, and I can retrieve my bloglines subscription at any location we visit with internet access throughout the country.

In fact, China has a much more reliable high-speed internet service in most cities, than I have here in the US.

People that write these ridiculous articles should try living there before reposting what they read in the tabloids.

Listen to Fons (#29). he knows his stuff.

And he’s right.

No blanket ban in China. This ars technica support lists no sources.

It’s flat out wrong.

Could this be caused by the ongoing Burmese events and online campaign in the support of Burmese people against the China?

Maybe they’re envious of Burma/Myanmar and since retribution against them is scant, they’re using that lesson as an opportunity to test the limits again?

“Whilst some could well argue about the rights of a sovereign nation to censor content within its own borders, the more pressing issue from a Web 2.0 development and industry perspective is the use of the Firewall by the Chinese Government to unfairly block foreign competition, particularly at a time where the Chinese Government is trying to start, or is already in Free Trade Agreement negotiations with a number of countries, including Australia.”

This kind of nonsense censorship is why I’ve passed up on opportunities to make some things happen in China. I can’t do my work there.

But I also don’t want to become complicit in any state’s victory over the people or become someone who would say that the most pressing issue is a business issue when we’re discussing freedom.

Joseph at 32:
“Please don’t pay lip service to China’s paranoid despotism by alluding to a possible argument for state censorship. Reasonable people know that this is morally objectionable–it’s OK to call it both objectively wrong and bad for business.
It’s also directly antithetical to Web 2.0, which calls for a thriving ecosystem of open participation.”

Right on. We’ve money and room to move. Let’s not get so caught up in the bottom line or so wrapped up in what the people in power claim to be culturally sensitive issues that we can’t support humans who don’t have the resources we have.

Oh come on, Duncan. Please don’t pay lip service to China’s paranoid despotism by alluding to a possible argument for state censorship. Reasonable people know that this is morally objectionable–it’s OK to call it both objectively wrong and bad for business.

It’s also directly antithetical to Web 2.0, which calls for a thriving ecosystem of open participation.

Call a spade a spade, please.
