I agree with Yidaki - I've had that one blocked for months.

China blocks half of the world and the rest of the webmasters are blocking China :)

I see a partnership here. Anyone?

By the way I saw some code going over in some chinese usegroups about webcrawlers/emailharvesters that access google cache instead of the real website to gather their information in the event the page is down/not responding.

I don't know if it is working or what they were trying to do. However it looked quite smart.
