I kind of agree with blocking this webs because everyone would not want there to be negative comments spreading all over the Net, because they can't disallow acess to social websites like Facebook and Twitter! I need my Facebook back...thanks God that I'm flying back to where I came from on Sunday (China time)...no offence! I am a Chinese who is normally overseas but currently in China.

These people are happy and they know how to enjoy life, they are easygoing. you probably say these things because you've grown up rich and are not open minded to anything!!! Usually growing up rich you don't have the experience of meeting the poor! People all over the world don't make enough money so they have to work two or three different jobs, at least these people just work at one job. I know a lot of people that need to work 2 or 3 jobs just to make ends meat because the west is pretty effing expensive to live in. Life is pretty good in china even if you are poor. Things here are inexpensive. They don't bitch and complain about working either, they just do it! Get treated like slaves.... haha, everywhere I go in China people sleep at work, I sure wish I could do that in Canada, I'd find my ass fired with no job! They have so many people working at the same place here in china, that there is no need to rush anything, I sure bust my ass in Canada to meet deadlines and time limits, because again, if i don't i won't have a job. when everyone has so much negativity towards china i think you are getting into business that is not your own or at least that you are not experienced in. you talk about the government treating these citizens like slaves but if you talk to chinese people most of them look at their political leaders as if they are Gods!

I think it was called an email, but i'm not so sure. It wasn't sugar coated with photos, picture comments and vampire bites but it worked exactly the same. You wrote a message to a friend and waited for the reply. If you wanted to talk to your friend you would use MSN,skype or Yahoo messenger which may I add is so much better than Facebook messenger. Facebook is kind of like one of those annoying phones. You know the ones that have everything,camera, and music player, it's just plain SHIT! So China blocked facebook! Thank fuck, now I can stare at my screen for hours at work at it might be something worth while! 再见 Remember that thing you used before Facebook? I think it was called an email, but i’m not so sure.

Youtube and Facebook have been blocked. I don't know about twitter as i do not use it. Yes, this is an inconvenience but there are ways round the blockade. First of all you can download software that lets you surf the internet anonymously. YOU MUST DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE THAT YOU PAY FOR. I stress this point A LOT as a friend of mine downloaded an anonymous surfing software FOR FREE and it gave him a virus. The other thing you can do is find an anonymous surfing website online e.g www.sneakme.net. If you still find no solution to this blockade then the final resorts are to: Move away to a different country OR completely forget about your facebook, youtube or twitter accounts and find something else to fill your lives with other than mindlessly surfing around on websites that barely benefit you.
