Shanghaiist is pissed -- the Chinese government has closed down three internet sites, one of which, Yannan, was one of our favorite sites for information and intelligent analysis of major social and political issues in China. The other two sites are Inner Mongolian, and theur only crime was to protest what they probably considered a racist cartoon that featured Genghis Khan as a mouse with a pig snout. We haven't seen these sites, but they have been accused of hosting "separatist" content and were summarily shut down and China warned it would do last week.
Speaking of separatism and the sacred unity of the motherland, Taiwan's government is protesting Google Maps' reduction of Taiwan to a mere "province of China". Try it out: go to Google Maps and type in "Taiwan", and read what it says.

Hi,
For the last few days I can't access GoDaddy.com website and my personal website (mail and FTP), I'm using China Telecom ADSL.
But today at the office, everything is working well, we're using Chinanet.
So I'm wondering if China Telecom blocked GoDaddy hosted websites.
GoDaddy.com wouldn't load for me, either. I think I'm on China Telecom. But it did load for a friend, who also said he was on China Telecom. I just used GoDaddy.com last week, too, so this is a recent development. Could be just a temporary glitch, but you never know ...
