Cloudy in Beijing Blogging about my time in China

Blogger blocked?

This is the first time I haven't been able to access my blog. Instead I've been forced to use a proxy site to access it. I hope this doesn't become a regular thing. (Youtube has still been blocked for maybe two months now).

I think people back home often think that the most of Internet is blocked in China. But it's generally the opposite. I can access most things and I only encounter a few blocks here and there about every month, usually due to maybe some sensitive news story on China. I do, however, get a "page load error" when I try to access the wikipedia entry on Tibet.

It's quite unsettling that someone in the Chinese government can read my blogs and basically prevent anyone in the country from reading them. Ridiculous. But I can't help but wonder...

Chinese censors are a bunch of punk-ass douchebags! Suck it! Let's see if anything happens. The great firewall of China is my biatch!
