Great Firewall of China

! This post hasn't been updated in over a year. A lot can change in a year including my opinion and the amount of naughty words I use. There's a good chance that there's something in what's written below that someone will find objectionable. That's fine, if I tried to please everybody all of the time then I'd be a Lib Dem (remember them?) and I'm certainly not one of those. The point is, I'm not the kind of person to try and alter history in case I said something in the past that someone can use against me in the future but just remember that the person I was then isn't the person I am now nor the person I'll be in a year's time.

Thunder Dragon posts about China’s latest crackdown on internet use and links to an interesting site – the Great Firewall of China.

Interestingly, my own rantings and ravings are not blocked in China despite my previous swipes at the Chinese government for the illegal occupation of Tibet, threats against Taiwan and their supression of the internet and free speech.

So, I’m going to do a little test and see how quickly I can get my blog blocked by the Chinese government.  Please leave your predictions in the comments as to how long it will take to get blocked.

I disagree with the illegal occupation of Tibet and the illegitimate threats to Taiwanese sovereignty.  I don’t like the Chinese government and I think it’s about time the Chinese people realised that there are a billion of them and in the face of a mass uprising, the authorities would stand about as much chance as a ghost’s fart in a force ten gale of stopping them.
