YouTube Blocked In China
Filed Under censorship |
The most popular online video website - YouTube, seem to be blocked in China. The Chinese users are unable to access YouTube now. YouTube which has been acquired by Google Inc since Oct, 2006, is the leader in online video, and the premier destination to watch and share original videos worldwide through a Web experience. YouTube allows people to easily upload and share video clips on the web.
The current blocking may be related to the Communist Party Congress, which began on 15 October in Beijing and ends on Sunday. Chinese authorities regularly blocks access to websites that it finds objectionable, including those dealing with politically sensitive subjects. YouTube could conceivably carry some information the Chinese authorities think it shouldn’t. That’s what we have been. Blocked. Great Fire Wall-ed.
Now YouTube is inaccessible for most everyone in China, the current block is actually a bit more restrictive than the other block, since any mention of the string “www.youtube.com” in any URL seems to be blocked.
For example: http://www.google.com/search?q=www.youtube.com (if you are out of China, you should use http://www.google.cn/search?q=www.youtube.com) will not go through, and will get you a “Connection reset” error.
That mean the YouTube are not viewable via normal proxy. Chinese user must use secured transmission (SSL , HTTPS) to visit YouTube, that is not suitable because of the slow and instable connection.
The Chinese authorities also block some great website like FeedBurner, Flickr, WordPress, BlogSpot and Wikipedia.

Youtube uses taiwanese flag as Chinese national flag in its newly-established Chinese website, which apparently would make Chinese government angry. Blocking it is a reasonable reaction, for as an international website, it should have remained politically neutral.
[...] YouTube’s blocking two weeks ago seemed to be related with the 17th Communist Party Congress, the blocking also coincided with Google’s launch of two Chinese language YouTube sites, one in Taiwan and one in Hong Kong. [...]

Listen. Do not have an opinion while you listen because frankly, your opinion doesn?t hold much water outside of Your Universe. Just listen. Listen until their brain has been twisted like a dripping towel and what they have to say is all over the floor.
