Dear redstorm,
Will OPD listed sites be blocked at the same time?

Is it a coincidence that in some parts 'Wiki' is slang for a Chinese person and may be offensive?

I would hate to be a china man... :(

I saw an advert on tv (UK), it was for AOL internet trying to encourage more people to sign up, The advert was talking about the internet in general, It says at one point the internet is the only place in the world where there is truly freedom of speech... hmmm.

China really ain't as bad as people make it out to be.

come live here and experience it for yourself is what I say instead of reading incorrect media reports.
