My understanding is that all traffic into china comes through one location in HongKong (one of the reasons they have a hard time getting high speed access). The goverment has a "bad list" which blocks anything on it into the country.

I had a chinese developer who was wanted by the chinese authorities for putting up un-authorized news. They even employed hackers to try to shut him down when i let him host on my servers. He had people throughout china hosting the site on dial-up evrytime they blocked his IP.

one guy was arrested and tortured by the secret police over there.

but for all I know he was high on opium and full of shit, right?
