Crossing the Great Firewall During the 2008 Olympics

Graham Webster over at CNET's Sinobyte has written a balanced and informative post on how China might handle its information firewall during the 2008 Summer Olympics. I like the article's tone in that it doesn't focus on condemning the Chinese government, rather it focuses on explaining the situation. Webster doubts that "the entire censorship regime will be shut down during the Olympics" and thinks that "likely that some or all filtering will cease during the Olympics, but we'll just have to wait and see." Keep writing more posts like these Graham! I think this is really one of the most interesting aspects to keep an eye on this summer. -tricia
