try it and let us know

You can do it but depending on where you are and what connection you will have to use proxies.

I have a friend who sets up his own before he goes.

I think it's oki because when i see traffic stats lot of hits from China

Hrmm used to be pretty hardcore firewalled.. haven't heard anything lately.

I dont think they are concerned with porn so much as political shit.

i love that pic:1orglaugh

The Chinese firewall works mostly when it comes to political things. You can't surf all the porn sites but you can still access lots of them. The big problem is when it comes to sites like falungong.org.

U.A.E. has far more effective porn filters.

Just keep a few proxy sites in your favorites folder and use them.

Hope this info helps.

Like mike said, write down a few proxy sites. ;-)

QQ is the most popular IM there apparently

what cha doing in china?

Yah on his last trip my buddy said he could reach all my sites but not CNN etc.

Let us know the results when you come back!

Are you going there for business or pleasure?

When I was in China I couldn't surf to any of my favorite porn sites from a friend's connection in their apartment, but was able to pull my own site up. When I tried any sort of public connection I wasn't able to get to anything at all (took me almost ten minutes just to load Yahoo mail). I have to say, even though I knew they were tough on porn, I was still surprised when I bought a Penthouse or Hustler in a Hong Kong convenience store (after we got back from the mainland) and it was nearly all bikini photos.

I enjoyed both of my China trips so much that I've considered moving there, but I think it would probably be a *tad* inconvenient to host a site from there. =P

I hope you enjoy your time there, too. Get some clothing tailored... it's worth it.

yeah they are bad with the political shit... wonder if you can reach the gfy from there... never tried it

Most Porn sites are accessible from China at least ours are :)

My partners are in China and can access GFY and most porn sites, like others said its mainly politic sites that are not accessible.

I think a lot may depend on the individual ISP, though...

The friend that I was visiting said that he would have periods of time where he was limited to very few sites and much of his email was filtered, and then other times he had almost full access. A friend of his would have similar difficulties, but at different times, with a different ISP.

Could it also depend on location?

it happen sometimes that they cant access the sites, but its because of their ISP, the connection they have is not very good, but usally the day after they can connect to those sites again and without having to pass through proxy.

Geez, I don't know. I haven't been in China.

yes you can in most places!
where in China are you going? i've been to Guangzhou and Beijing couple of cool bars/clubs i could tell you about :winkwink:

When was the last time you've been there?

He's going for the cheap hookers and going to tell his freinds he got to see the great wall :1orglaugh
