Great Firewall of China

I read about the Great Firewall of China from Nitesh Gautam’s Blog. The Chinese govt has been censoring lot of websites based on their content. The greatfirewallofchina.org says;

The Chinese government has a tradition of keeping its watchful eye on all media. Since the rapid growth of the World Wide Web in the 1990s they have constantly invented new ways of censorship to control the world’s most democratic medium, the Internet, as well. Not everything on the Internet, readily available elsewhere, can be accessed from within China.

Some of the popular sites like Wikipedia are blocked in China. Checkout this section to know more about Great Firewall of China.

I did a check for my blog to see whether its blocked or not and the results are here.

Currently my blog is available in China (there is quite a few Chinese readers as well), but as the greatfirewallofchina.org says any site could be blocked any time. Click here to see some interesting FAQs about this. To check whether your site is blocked or not Click here.
