Kevin Burton’s NEW FeedBlog

Business week recently ran a post with Hu Zhiguang (who runs a large Chinese blog host). The Blogware blog is also talking about this:

Q: But, as you say, the political environment in China means there’s a lot that people can’t express in their blogs.
A: Sometimes there are people who write about Taiwanese independence and the Falun Gong.

Q: And what happens when they try to do that?
A: We set up keywords for our programs, like “Falun Gong,” and when you type in those keywords, you cannot post them. It just shows up as stars. Everybody has that.

Well that’s frightening. I’ve been a bit nervous about the US political scene but we’re no where near this bad.
