China Doesn’t Like Me! :(

I am in China. I can access your site.

it seems like all these companies are trying to bog you down, digg, then this

Your site is available to me here in china. I found out today, for the first time in 7 months, that I cant access my own now. I think there is a crack down going on because most blogs I can't access from here that I have been able to all along. ?

Many of my sites are "unavailable"..hmmm wonder how accurate the test was. Oh, well most of content are focused to the North American market anyway.

Das Brain :cool:

So what do you have to do to get banned in China anyway?

I tried it again on my other domains ending up being said to be banned, I think it needs some twitches!! hehehehe

John, on Monday it was reporting bloggingfusion.com as blocked, but today it shows it as available. I just tested your blog and it still showing as blocked. I'll be blogging about this too.

I think their sever has the glitch

Here's something that you might find pretty strange. My freelance writing business (michaelkwan.com), whether you include the www or not, is blocked... BUT.... my blog (btr.michaelkwan.com) is available.

It must be the blog posts about the OhMyBod (and now iBuzz) :twisted:.

Looks like all 3 of my sites are blocked. I'm not surprised by two of them but the third is a surprise....

Do not worry John, China did not like URL relative to Blog. I have tested my new address and my blog address is blocked but not my Web site ...

I think that there is an automatic process. blog is a no autorized work, like john ;)

Nico

as csudhoff said digg bans blogs if you've been reported.

for me it's very unfair. :evil: I think they should check it before banning it

I am from china , i can vist your web.

I think that site doesn't work at all! It's reporting all the sites that i put has banned, wich i know that some of them are not banned at all :)

I don't believe that website. Said my IP was 'Australia', not likely, mate. It's Taipei, Taiwan.

Also, I tried mine. It said I was 'banned', too.

Anyway, you can always make a "Banned in China, now you can read John Chow - THE uncensored version!" That must be good for a few hits. :evil:

My worked aswell, but when I put in JohnChow.com, it took to long to load and aborted :shock: .

Mine worked! :razz: However the flash has issues. :evil:

Cool tool John. Thanks!

Hmmm, I think your people are protesting you John...you must be evil :razz:

Don't let those commies catch you! Chow is now an unspoken word.

Dear Dr. Evil,

I'm in China, and have been here reading your last blog regularly since Jan 2007. Just to let u know, cheers!

pretty crazy, my site (www.exoticexcess.com) was also blocked by Digg. When I asked why I was blocked I was told that my site has been reported as spam.

So in essence you could report just about any site as spam and they would get blocked. Kinda flaky if you ask me...

ive read that this has been happening a lot, i dont know why

I'm banned too?! I think that's stupid. All of us who tried it god banned url :shock: I think it has glitches. or just a fraud

Now that's funny.

I found this resource a couple of weeks ago and checked my sites - looks like China hasn't blocked my sites (yet).

But it's an interesting concept and a good way to showcase censorship...

Canadian Financial Rants is readable by anyone in China who wishes to read it! I once did a presentation which was translated "on the fly" by a young lady to a group of Japanese businessmen, and half way through my presentation I noticed she had given up, due to my speed and use of coloquialisms! Whoo Hoo! :twisted:

Free John Chow for the Chinese!! --C8j

I'm in China ..but I can access your blog now

Since my blog is also blocked, I assume they have many technical errors. Interesting site concept though.

Heheh... Well like people have said, it does not look like it actually shows what is blocked correctly, but funny anyway.

haha...If it is blocked...thats quite funny... :lol:

that's some of my biggest concerns, as i plan to go to china. i want to continue to access my accounts, but i just can never be certain how long i will be able to, or if they would ever block me.

i suspect they don't like seeing a wild Chinaman on the lose, John. :p

i checked yahoo and they said it was blocked... might be the fact that my connection is a bit slow though. it says it was unblocked for other attempts today though.

Surprised not all blogs are banned in China since they don't want their citizens to read anything with an opinion attached to it (unless it agrees with the state)

Suck for you. my personal on is ok www.gregstratz.blogspot.com but my review site www.ourblogreview.com was blocked. oh well

John:

your site available in China,I can confirm it :wink: (I'm in China)

I think there is some problem in GreatFireWallOfChina.org, many results it returns wrong

Maybe you gave the finger to the wrong guys at the ECS concentration camp :mrgreen:

BTW I think that website is full of it too, but why bother making a scam with no adsense? :neutral:

Life's little way of telling you not to go into the red.

Blog about how great China is and you'll be back in no time.

I tried http://johnchow.com and got the same result. Agree with the comment about baby panda. :lol:

Apparently I don't exist in China.

For some reason I get like 5% of my traffic from China on one of my sites. Not sure exactly why either. The site really isn't about anything other than internet personalities.
