Banned in China

I have a friend who just wrote me that he could not get this blog right now in China. He has tried but it won't come up. Getting access to it is not a problem for him in Thailand but he can't get it in China.

I find that to be a real compliment. To be blacklisted and banned by the Chinese government has to be one of the greatest honors I can think of. I will have to put it on my resume.

It has to do with my coverage of the revolution--it has to be. In fact, I would think it has to do with the word "revolution." That one would come up quite a bit in a search of this site. And that word is not something the Chinese government would be all that, umm, comfortable with.

Now I wonder if they would deny me a visa?

I would though hope that it is on the Chinese side and not Blogger doing it on this side

Could be for use of word - democracy
"Users of Microsoft's new Internet portal in China are being blocked from using the words "democracy," "freedom" and "human rights," in an apparent move by the U.S. software giant to appease Beijing."
