The Great Firewall of China

[rts_conrad]

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?

It will be your ISP doing that.... or somethings on the computer settings.
