I’ve hit a little snag. My updates to Blogger are no longer quite so straightforward. The Great FireWall of China has decided that a number of Weblogging sites are bubbling pots of risk and so internet censorship is rife! Basically anything with links to Tibet, Taiwan or the Tian’anmen Massacre are censored, interestingly they will show up on internet searches, but clicking the link prompts a connection reset message. As the 20th anniversary of the Tian’anmen Massacre is fast approaching, it comes as no surprise that Blogger is temporarily down.
Interestingly to me, having such strong censorship makes me more interested in reading up on these things, YouTube is also blocked, and I miss looking for fun children friendly clips for Ellie. I am definitely keen to try and find the video on the protesters, so it’s lucky that I’m coming to Australia soon!
I now feel really technologically advanced, as I am now somehow connected to a proxy server in the States. But connection is slow (even slower than regular China Broadband), so I’ll reserve it for just the bare minimum!!
