[...] was thinking about something I saw on Lex’s blog – the Great Firewall of China. Many people these days try to portray China as not all that bad. [...]

Yea, but you are blocked by One Net too ( Just like NMCI-only slower and more expensive), so its not just the Chinese that you have pissed off.

Either that or the US government has more in common with the PRC than it wants to admit.

Huh. So is my site; which is bizarre since I fail to understand what they’d could possibly find worthy of censoring.

The more I play with this site, the more I call BS on the validity of their “test”. I could not find a single US based site that was not blocked, even those with no content (a nearly blank page).

I then started testing sites that are located in China (according to geobytes IP address locator). I have serious doubts that they are actually blocking Chinese university websites: http://www.blcu.edu.cn/, but according to greatfirewallofchina.org, even THIS is blocked. As were 2 other university related ones and some other general chinese sites.

Believe what you will, but, I find nothing credible about the site.

Betcha the Chicom brass tunes in, though.
