Great Firewall of China

The Great Firewall of China allows you to test any website and see if it is banned in China. This blog is visible in China plenty but other blogs are banned.

Thanks go to Matt An Insomniac for drawing my attention to the Great Firewall of China in the first place.

I have been getting hits from China several times a week. I guess I am viewed as anti- Soviet.
However, all forms of Marx are odious except the Marx Brothers.

Tested, several. Why are Hungarian sites blocked, a mystery. But then, in China everything is Chinese, even the Emperor is....

Beak, sometimes the block is temporary, and the Firewall affects seriously people, all forms of censorship do.

The good people of China have not been restricted from enjoying copious amounts of crassness on my blog. Hooray for them! In celebration, maybe I'll post some special dog meat recipes, a Katie Melua video for "Ten Million Bicycles In Beijing"(I HATE that song), and a photo gallery of all our fine American flag wares that were manufactured in Taiwan.

On the other hand Beak, stick the boot into chinese human rights and see what happens!

Quite right REd, it affects greatly. It strikes me of teh work Winston Smith did in 1984.. Kill all reference to an event other than the official one and there can be no contesting the official version of events.

I watch with interest to see how long before your blog is banned ewbl.. Katie Melua is just too much for anyone to bear!
