Classic Danwei posts
+ New Years Past: Other Spring Festivals by Geremie R. Barmé (2007.02): Sang Ye interviews two people about their experiences during Great Leap Forward-era Spring Festivals. Translated and annotated by Geremie R. Barmé. + Trend-spotting in online fiction (2007.06): An interview with Daniel Dan Fei (丹飞), publisher of Notes on Graverobbing (盗墓笔记), Rear Palace (后宫), and Those Ming Dynasty Things (明朝那些事). + China's 50 Most Beautiful People (2005.03): The Beijing News borrows a picture of Maggie Cheung from Cosmo for the cover of today's Entertainment insert, "50 Most Beautiful People in China". Ms. Cheung takes the top spot, with Takeshi Kaneshiro, Little S, Zhang Ziyi, and Liu Ye rounding out the top five in this exercise that is a conscious imitation of People magazine's yearly rundown.

Comments on Blogspot blocked again
I have an interesting theory about this. China throttles the internet when things get tricky and blocking sites is the last resort but just after Tibet if I were the Chinese authorities I'd be measuring traffic to blogspot to see both the demand for this platform and the speed with which it disseminates. Throttling information is 21st century censorship.
I may of course be completely wrong on this as indeed I am on oodles of stuff !
I guess those human rights loving Communist leaders don't like the free flow of information. They could outsource this task to Blackwater.
不解禁新闻和言论,政府说什么都是扯几八蛋.
The truth is that most people knows how to break the wall.....vpn or something else....
I'am in beijing, 2008-4-14 18:41, no blocking.I can open http://www.blogspot.com. Assure you message,please.
Yes, www.blogspot.com is accessible but not the blogs. So I can write a post but can not see it. Anyway, I really hope they don't block wikipedia.
操，习惯了。
真是搞不懂他们到底在想什么
堵吧 堵吧 你堵也堵不住 还让大家觉得你做贼心虚
结果就是没人再相信你们说的了 就算你们说实话
你们到底是真高明啊还是真傻啊？
