Blogspot blocked againPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, October 27, 2006 9:49 AM
 In August this year, the Nanny unblocked Blogspot — Google's popular free blog hosting service that had been inaccesible in China for several years. In the last few days, the Nanny seems to have decided that Blogspot is not doing its part to create a harmonious Internet, so it's back to using proxy servers when you want to read the spiritual pollutants available on one of the world's most popular blog hosts. The English version of Wikiepedia was unblocked in October this year. it is still accessible today in Beijing. |

Classic Danwei posts
+ The top Chinese books in 2007 (2008.02): China Reading Journal (中华读书报), Yazhou Zhoukan (亚洲周刊), and City Pictorial (城市画报) choose mainland China's top books for 2007. + Men behind the Nanny (2005.04): The Publicity Department (formerly known as the Propaganda Department) has held a "forum" in Beijing to promote what it calls "news editorial staff management regulations (in testing phase)". These regulations appear to be same the set of rules earlier reported on Danwei of which the stated intent is to clear up corrupt journalistic practices. + Asimov Published, Interviewed in Beijing (2005.03): Cover story from this week's Book Review section of The Beijing News announces the publication of a Chinese translation of Isaac Asimov's complete Foundation series. Yup, the Beijing News has scored a fictional interview with "I, Asimov". They've been taking similar liberties recently in their entertainment sections, captioning photographs of celebrities with made-up quotes.

Comments on Blogspot blocked again
I've noted that Wikipedia has been drifting in and out. It's been prone to mysterious time-outs. A substantial difference from the zippy response of a day or two ago.
Sites blocked in China?
Not according to one of China's top UN officials:

I think it's blocked because today I asked many friends in cina to open Blogger's blog and they couldn't open. Fortunately I switched my blog to wordpress one month earlier!
in guangzhou blogspot still blocked
I think it's just been blocked again (Beijing).
It's definitely just been blocked again. You can see blogs through a proxy site but you can't update your own at all.
Blocked in shanghai :(
Its blocked in Shanghai for sure. If you want to update your blogs in china you can go do so from the proxy www.zend2.com however you cannot upload pictures etc.... hope this helps.
Does anyone have a good proxy that does allow you to upload pictures?
anyone found a solution for uploading pictures yet?
i can live with the proxy solution~ but not being able to format my posts or upload pictures really annoys me~~
isn't wordpress blocked too? These days in Shanghai even google is suffering- type in a search term and nothing happens. Not always, just sometimes. Quite a clever way of making us use baidu and yahoo.
Hi everybody.
If you want to experience free Internet in China, I suggest you to use Fr**g*te or Ul***s**f, which allows you to edit your blog.
