The Great Firewall in full affect
Just clicked on an article from yahoo.com about all that’s going on in Tibet. About 5 seconds after I clicked on it, it disappeared … “page cannot be displayed.” I’ve heard this was happening, but didn’t think it was really true. I can access Tibet related articles from nytimes.com though.
Youtube.com is also blocked again - obviously because Tibet videos have been popping up.
It’s a mess there right now. A a couple colleagues of mine where in Beijing last week, they flew to Lhasa on Friday … when it was starting to get very hectic there. They were moved out immediately and ended up on a flight back to Beijing yesterday. They are heading back to the US today.

Ever see the movie, The Year of Living Dangerously?

Haven’t seen, but just took a look at the summary & got your point. I would imagine those types of guys exist in China/Tibet, but have to publish on non-popular sites & move hosting environments frequently.

Was just watching Int’l CNN - they were talking about Tibet - TV went black for a few minutes until story was over.
