When Rich Lynch was in China last year he sent an e-mail to tell me that File 770 is blocked by the Great Firewall of China.
But the other day David Klaus tested File770.com at the Greatfirewallofchina.org and it shows my site is now available to Chinese web surfers.
I found that a bit disappointing. What, am I not controversial enough, not a sufficient beacon of liberty, to deserve being blocked anymore?
Fans from my generation will understand when I say – it’s like finding my name was removed from Nixon’s enemies list. (Well, if it had ever been on it.)
[Thanks to David Klaus for the story.]
Try saying something nasty about Chairman Mao…
Or anything critical or truthful about China.
In fact, Greg Benford and I may have just *ensured* that your blog site will be blocked from the country for the next six months to a year.
@Taral: You’re probably right. I’m sure it doesn’t take much.
Red China looks good on a Richard Nixon tablecloth.
Neither Taral nor Dr. Benford have changed your status as of the moment I write this.
They’re welcome to keep trying!
