Hi everyone,maybe I’m the fourth Chinese ‘agency’ here :)
I’m in Shanghai now. I can tell u something about the Great Firewall.
We can visit almost all the Internet websites,except those about ‘Chinese Democracy’,’Criticism of Chinese leaders’,’FaLunGong’,’1989’(’64’).
Usually it only forbids pages written in Chinese.
We can visit BBC,CNN,AOL and MSNBC,but can’t visit VOA.
We can visit wikipedia (except Chinese version) and Youtube,but if we search keywords like ‘1989’,’Tiananmen’, the website will be temporarily forbidden for several minutes,reporting ‘DNS Error’.


Another thing I can share with you : most of the Chinese people support the government’s actions on Taiwan,Tibet and Xinjiang,and think of Falungong as liars.This has nothing to with ‘brainwashing’.Tibet will always be a part of China,even after China becomes more democratic.

Hello nofog,

Glad to meet someone from Shanghai. Interesting that you are able to navigate the Internet in spite of the government controls there.

Thanks for writing,
Joya
