But I tried quite a few, for example 天安门虐杀，and there was no problem. Wait a second, actually I am trying the 六四 right now and it doesn't give the porn block either, it gives me the reset connection. I haven't been able to get a porn block by any other terms that Chrter 08, if you find any other political term that gives it let me know. Yes, I read Imagethief but he is on holidays now apparently. If I remember well the reason why Chinese prefer Baidu is because you can download mp3s (il)legally for free.

Mr. Luo's article should be this: http://luoyonghao.blog.sohu.com/108331861.html If you haven't read it already, you might be interested to have a look. haha, I use google regularly but I think most Chinese still prefer Baidu over Google for many reasons. Imagethief is a better expert on this, but you probably already know. I was googling information on 1989 Tiananmen Incident earlier this year, I typed in "六四", and it gave me the porn block. So I switched to Baidu, it gave me results on various P-64 PISTOL. hmmm. oops, I posted the same link twice.

Yes, I saw it was posted on the douban thread, apparently it is the old address he had before moving to bullog. I think I am relatively safe writing political stuff because it is in English, there are much larger websites publishing these things in English so it is unlikely that Nanny focuses attention on me. Although to tell you the truth, now that Ive shamed google in my last post I am a bit scared. Do you imagine the power that Google has in the chinese internet? Just in case I am backing up once a day. Hi MH, thanks for the link. Yes, I saw it was posted on the douban thread, apparently it is the old address he had before moving to bullog.

Let's face it, if you'll gonna write politically sensitive stuff, it's better to have several back-ups. And that's what many of them did. I don't know who "Anti" is, but Lianyue's blog is here: http://www.lianyue.net/blogs/rosu/ And the co-founder of Bullog, Mr. Luo Yonghao, posted an article right after Bullog was shut down.

From the English speaking media and blogs, it has since got more attention, with featured posts by Xujun Eberlein, Peking Duck, FM, and now also ESWN. Most importanlty, in the Chinese speaking circles, it is slowly gaining momentum, as is proven by the fact that the government is getting nervous and has closed down (not blocked, note!) the whole site bullog.
