The Chinese Communist Party, with the hearty assistance of its American corporate lackeys, goes out of its way to protect its subjects from all those dangerous ideas to be found festering on the Typepad blogging service.
Asiapundit first sounded the alarm. Now it's confirmed. All Typepad blogs, including this one, cannot be seen in China. (Note that Blogger has been blocked in China for some time.) I asked some people in China to attempt accessing this blog and a long list of other random Typepad blogs (including ones that never discuss China), without using a proxy. None could be accessed. Now all Typepad blogs wanting to be seen in China will have to migrate to another blog hosting service or onto an independent server. Meanwhile, Asiapundit has created a series of graphics like the one on the right which you can put on your blocked blog to help create awareness of the problem.
Personally, I feel a sense of pride in doing my little part to corrupt Chinese youth.
