The Great Firewall of China
September 6, 2007A topic which I choose to revisit from time to time.
Leading up to the National People’s Congress which happens every 5 years the internet censorship here in my adopted country reaches all time highs (or lows depending on your take). This blog is blocked in China (there are ways to get around that although they are frustrating).
The latest casualty in the “ban everything cause we are so paranoid someone will say something bad about us” movement at the government level is - - - - our own school’s English website! Yes folks even Dalian Maple Leaf International School has not been spared the censor’s grasp. Those outside of the Middle Kingdom can freely access www.mapleschools.org but here inside the firewall we cannot.
Don’t know why that makes me smile but it does!
Cheers
