By chance, I stumbled across this website which allows you to test and see if a certain site is allowed to be accessed from China.
I’d read recently in the paper about certain sites which were being blocked for various reasons, and even Google is having to doctor some of it’s search results for users in that country - it seems a bit of a strange way of doing things but each to their own. The reasoning behind the blocking is explained in some depth on Wikipedia.
I was a bit upset that they don’t seem to like this site, as I don’t think it contains anything overly offensive!

Hmmm … so is the url of our blog though Google Analytics shows we’ve has 26 visits from China since we started in November.

It’s probably the Chinese government keeping an eye on you, seeing what you are up to!
By the way, I’ve not forgotten about the BBC reviews - still not had a chance to watch the 2 shows I recorded but I promise I’ll do them this week.
Honest!
