Yes, there really is such a thing - a systematic attempt by the Chinese government to cut off its people from troublesome information, grown more sophisticated since the resistance began in Tibet. Google and Yahoo have both been disappointingly complicit in these efforts.
And fortunately there are electronic freedom fighters dedicated to disabling it (in Chinese - forward this blog or this link to Chinese-speakers interested in democracy).
Freedom of Information is crucial to the 21st century. Support anti-Great Firewall measures.
IF IT'S BAD FOR THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT, IT'S GOOD FOR EVERYONE ELSE.
