I am in China trying to work but its absolutely imposible to surf some US and European site they are simply blocked. For example to use wikipedia I have to use Annony Mouse.

In one session I attended, the observation was made, as I recall, that even if you know that the stats may be/are inflated (and it was opined that everyone does know the real figures) but you are courting venture capitalists, you do not want to be the first to set a new benchmark of more accurate stats, which would inevitably be lower than the perceived/touted industry levels. Sacrificial victim anyone?

There’s an interesting post at the Oxford Internet Institute called “The Internet is local and Chinese do not link abroad”:

Tiens ces jours-ci la Chine a réouvert l’accès à blogspot, mais fermé l’accès à youtube (snif déjà que googlevideo & dailymotion n’étaient pas accessibles…).
