I got "blocked" responses for a couple of pages from www.china.org.cn, which is the "authorized government portal site to China" run by "the State Council Information Office and the China International Publishing Group in Beijing". If the Chinese government is blocking their own sites to keep their people ignorant of current events, news, political position papers put out by the government, and assorted tourist information, then I propose they are doing a poor job of maintaining the appropriate indoctrination level that a national firewall would seem to be trying to accomplish. Just my thoughts. Comandante,

My blog is blocked... er, not blocked... um, blocked... ah, I mean... So many things can go wrong in routing a request from here to China that it is not legitimate to report a failure as a blockage. IIRC, the site even admits that somewhere in the fine print. Trust Sitemeter reports of hits from China over this Great Firewall site. If you don't use Sitemeter (I don't), assume that if you ever once get an unblocked response, your site is probably not blocked. I have serious doubts about that site.
