Good point,and it's so sudden and volatile and debilitating that many people are just left speechless; the effects are devastating, but so compounded now to be nearly invisible to the average netizen, or non-Chinese sympathizer. And it's almost like war with this: ideology drones vs. the humans and their thought machines. Hopefully the exodus to overseas hosts (with Tor and WordPress) idea takes, that would be really exciting and encouraging to see.

I just wonder how long they can do this kind of crap and continue to ‘develop’.

Hey Jimbob The Flickr add-on for Firefox still works for me here in Guangzhou, but you could always try using some Picasa space. Would love see your photos if you get that worked out and...where's your blog?

Now it’s September and we’re still blocked here in Beijing. China just wants your money and for you to keep your opinions (and your pictures) to yourself.

I’m so sick and tired of not being able to have access to either wikipedia or other websites. I’m a westerner who lives in China, many times i find “page cannot be displayed” when from other countries I can. NOT EVEN YAHOO PROFILES are viewable. Can’t they just unallow those pages to chinese residents if they really must?
It’s redicolus I wasted time to take pictures and post them on flickr and a week later I find them gone.
When they will start to pay for my internet connection then I will not view what they dont want me to. But till I’ll pay for MY connection, in one way or the other I’ll find the way to view whatever page I want. And there are ways.

Anyone else try the Flickr unfilter Host approach? I gave it a go but it only seems to work for less than half the photos, I guess(!) the reason being that Flickr has 5-6 “farms” or so and this only puts in the first two. Shi Zhao has more methods listed and I’ll give them a try or translate them if anyone wants.
