M.A's commentary:
It's blocked...it actually is my "favorite kinda block" it flashes on screen for a second and whoosh it is gone. I know it is not an error on the site because I can open in my proxy. It is a friend of mine's blog and I just wondered what he was up to.
Indigo's commentary:
A lot of blogs are blocked within China. I think it is because blog content can be very unpredictable. On my personal blog "Musings of a Wandering Blonde" one day I will write about food, and the next day I might write about a news event. This kind of thing could easily be seen as a danger by the Chinese government. A blog that seems safe might randomly one day post about something anti-Chinese, and the government might not realise it before it is read across China.
For this "ok is it wrong" blog, I'm guessing it might be blocked because on the opening page it says "Welcome to 'Merica". Even though as far as I can tell from blog content it doesn't say anything that would specifically be blocked in China for a certain reason.
So, I think that the blocking of blogs is a safety precaution more than an ideological issue for the Chinese government. And not all blogs are blocked. Below I have attached a link to blogs that I believe are allowed within China and are about the country itself.
Unfortunately, because this blog is run off of Blogger which is with Google, this blog is completely blocked. Which means that my mother who contributes her comments and is my funnel of information for what sites are blocked in China, can't actually read this. But she does occasionally manage to get through a proxy server to see it.
