I can never understand why China chooses to censure web sites or why they try to order the organic process to join the world economy.
It almost seems to be an attempt deliberated to order expression, and by the expression, learning. Most of study is questions. By delaying this process, I worry that much Chinese is imprisoned from imagination and incompetent to improve their position in the life.
Some blog comments about censure of web sites on the Internet.

We’ve received a number of reports today that users in China can’t get access to the Technorati site. Of course, we’re taking these reports very seriously, and we’re trying to get more accurate information. We’ll let you know when we know more.

Does this mean Technorati isn’t censoring search results into China like Google, MSN, Yahoo are? And if this is the case, will Technorati now have to start doing the Chinese government’s censorship job for them if they wish to be seen in China once more?

I often see no rhyme or reason regarding blocks. even with today’s announcement that new Internet Cafes would not be licensed in 2007, due to concern for porn and game addictions, I have seen “body art” sites flourish while some pro-China expat blogs have gone dark after a single rebuttal of policy.
To date here are a few of the services that have been blocked:

Researchers have known for the past several years that when Chinese citizens type certain phrases like “Falun Gong” and “Taiwan” into Google, they receive very different results than people outside the region do. Wolfgarten wanted to know why, and whether there might be a simple technical way to dig a little escape route through the Great Firewall.
Now there is a web site we can check to see if Great Fire Wall is blocking

A website called the Great Firewall of China tests websites to see if they’re being censored in China.
I found nice picture of the GFW.
