Bullog.cn (牛博网), popular Chinese blog host started by Luo Yonghao, appears to have been shut down this afternoon.

Bullog is described by many as edgy and carries the blogs of outspoken bloggers such as Wen Yunchao ('Bei Feng'), Ran Yunfei (which was blocked at the end of last year) and widely-read columnist Lian Yue.

Lao Luo's MSN status reads this afternoon: 'Bullog has been shut down. Lao Luo and Huang Bin are both feeling calm."

This seems to be the latest move in the recent Internet 'cleanse' carried out by the Net Nanny.

Fatianxia.com, the Chinese law blog provider was shut down temporarily late last year, then resumed, but was eventually eternally 'harmonized.'

oh fuck!

"government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth", but seems the China Government ain't such a government.

i'll be back
-Arnold Schwarzenegger

"Edgy"?

Lian Yue says Bullog will be back. No details.

Very harmonius! Very CCP! One step closer to its own shutdown by the PEOPLE!!!

I'm so sick of the dictator jerks that run China like it was their own private club. No wonder so many people leave China to take citizenship elsewhere!

Good for the big party!

What a pity. This is almost certainly related to Charter 08.

i think it's good to block bullog

the thing is that never go against cpc

is anyone really surprised?

Good citizen! good culture and bad leadership leads to the wrong direction as blocking blog. its very bad. Every thing should be transperancy.

Most of the bloggers don't even reside in China, why do you care? There's plenty of other blog sites hosted in America. Or is there some kind of agenda, intended to specifically reach the users in China? Moan moan moan, if you don't like it don't go to China, duhhh. You don't see any anti-Russia or anti-Putin blogs hosted on Russian servers, morons.

LOOOOOOL, even posting comments on this site is moderated. And it talks about censorship. Irony??????

Books on China
Diamond Hill by Feng Chi-shun: Feng's memoir Diamond Hill describes an era of gambling and gangsters, Suzie Wong and squatter villages, fires and food stalls, and the Kowloon Walled City and its white powder. "A time when people were poor, but life was rich," he says. The world that he grew up in no longer exists, but his book - the first ever on the Diamond Hill refugee settlement, in either Chinese or English - offers a candid picture of what life was like for most Hong Kong residents in the 1950s.
William A. Callahan's China: The Pessoptimist Nation: China: The Pessoptimist Nation shows how the heart of Chinese foreign policy is not a security dilemma, but an identity dilemma. Through a careful analysis of how Chinese people understand their new place in the world, the book charts how Chinese identity emerges through the interplay of positive and negative feelings in a dynamic that intertwines China's domestic and international politics.
The WTO ruling: a half victory at best: In August 2009, a World Trade Organization panel ruled against China's system of monopoly control over entertainment products. Was this the victory supporters hailed as the dawn of a new day for American and global entertainment companies in the China market?
