Interesting little tidbit to add on here:

I just discovered that I'm blocked from accessing anything on the New York Times website related to the Tibet issue with China.

I have been living in China for almost 5 months, and during this time I've run up against the "Great Firewall" on a several-times-a-day basis, but I have never had any problems in accessing the NYTimes. Everything has always been completely open on the Times website, but now everything is open except for the stuff that deals with Tibet.

Most irritating is that I'm not even sure that I can access the articles through a proxy either, as I need to log in as a paid subscriber. Fcuk China!!
Don't take my goddamn Times!
