China Law Blog

I am also a typepad user. How did you do this magic shift?

May consider just register the Chinalawblog.cn.

The past two weeks have been messy. Many site I frequent has been blocked by the GFW. However, this happens at the same time CNNIC (China Internet Network Information Center) are claiming the .CN registration has passed .COM as the faster growing top level domain. Several sites actually have their .cn counterpart accessible while .com was blocked. Given CNNIC is also the main body control over the GFW, I can't help to wonder whether this blocking is more economically driven then politically.

It's also interesting about CNNIC's craving of revenue from .cn registration. The central government has issued warning about banning individual ownership of domain name but CNNIC has turn a blind eye on such warning and continue to allow individual registration of .cn domain.

It was relatively easy but not without cost. I had livingdot.com do the "re-design." Check them out.

Not a bad idea.

Is this built in Wordpress?

Looks like things are back to normal, whatever the method. Good to see the blog working again.

Please make sure them have the RSS feed working probably. During the dark weeks, the CLB RSS of feedburner feeds the craving of CLB for those of us locked behind of GFW! ;)

Oh, my, this explains why the RSS function is not working.

This is one of the biggest reasons that I'm unlikely to spend any serious time in China though I regularly wish I could.

I don't have time to play games with censors.

From what I've heard, it was already rather bizarre what got blocked and this kind of thing is just ridiculous.

Since blogging is what I do right now, I can't afford to unexpectedly lose access to sites or services. Plus almost all my sites are hosted on Typepad and I have no plans to move.

Well, this is China, and Chinese people simply posses an IQ too low to be able to think for themselves, they are little more than trained monkeys. At least thats how the government treats them, and not too many Chinese disagree enough to do anything about it.

I use an 'illegal' VPN because I don't have time to play cat and mouse with an insecure Chinese government. I'm sick of you tube videos half loading, podcasts stop downloading half way, sites blocked randomly, my POP email not working, even IT sites and stuff like that are blocked, WTF? Anyway my VPN solves ALL of these issues and is very fast, so take that you stupid cowards.
