Default The Great Firewall of China
Anyone know why so many sites are blocked in China? I can't get on Blogspot, YouTube or the Hotmail site. I know there's alternatives i.e. proxies like HotSpot Shield but those lag my internet slightly because the speed of the internet in China isn't exactly the best either. Anyone?

If you can see this, you have WAY TOO much time on your hand. Or you're a mod going through my sig. But if you do, copy and past this in your sig.

I saw a TV article about this, was focused on the bloke who stopped the advance of a column of tanks on 5 June 1989 in Beijing.
