If they wanted people to leave they would just stop extending visa`s or make new regualtions or block MSN, it has nothing to do with facebook doh!!

As much as not having Facebook and Youtube is disapointing, it’s really not that big a deal. The main frustration I have as a foreigner living in China is just not understanding why any government would want to shield it’s people from world opinion, and also from making international friendships.

In one breath China says it wants to be a global player, and in action they isolate themselves from the rest of the world. I suppose amidst all the theories I hear from both Chinese friends, and foeigners here, we may never know the real motive for this behavior… another frustration… sigh!

HOW CAN I RUN AN INTERNET MARKETING COMPANY IF I CANNOT FREELY ACCESS INFORMATION AND TOOLS…

Ditto! I own a virtual assistant business and we promote to all social networking sites and blogs like FB, Twitter, Technorati, Xanga, Blogspot, WordPress, Multiply.. Guess what?? All of these sites are blocked from China.

Now, I’m shutting down my business. Five chinese employees would be jobless.

Oh well!!

In China,What u can know is ALL the official news,and filtered news.
when we’re borned,ALL brain-washed.
Only the ones eager to know the truth,breaking through the net ultimately.
