Media update:
Seems I was wrong about my favorite portal, A & L, having been blocked by the Great Firewall of China. I was able to get onto its home page today to learn its servers were down.
And suddenly The NY Times and Google are accessible again, but we’ll see for how long. The Washington Post remains blocked, as do all blogspot sites, of course. (Update: No, NYT is blocked again.)
Apparently PBS’s Frontline has aired a dynamite 112-minute piece on what life is really like in China — and we can actually access it here. It’s called China in the Red. (Courtesy of Chake.)
