Just a quickie…
For a week now, the world has been Googling Egypt like never before. But not in China, where search engines are blocking search terms like “Egypt” and “Cairo,” keeping people in China from staying up to date on Egypt’s mass revolt. Terms related to the protest are also blocked on Sina, a Chinese Twitter clone.
I wonder if China’s worried about Lhasa looking just a little bit like Cairo…
Incidentally, I was pretty astonished to find that Flickering Pictures apparently displays just fine in China (according to WebSitePulse), in spite of plenty of posts like these.
