China In the Habit of Copying and Redirecting US Sites?
Want to know why US web companies have trouble making it in China? gaz_hayes passed us a link to the blog commiepod, which suggests that successful US websites are targeted by 'Chinese government backed companies.' "These companies copy the site, deploy it on a .cn domain, and then DNS poison or forcefully lower the bandwidth the US site. Just a few weeks ago google.com and google.cn were DNS poisoned across the entire Chinese internet and were being redirected to their Chinese competitor Baidu. This probably explains Google's 3rd quarter market share in China." This is a fairly serious accusation; anyone else have first-hand experiences that would back this up?
Gosh, this is terribly exciting. I'm talking to the internet. Hello to all of you! I bet you can't believe it either!
I even have a computer. I didn't really want one but the nice man said it was necessary. He was very, very considerate and insisted on getting me the best. Apparently this is an 'Alienware' because the company makes computers that the most of the internet can read at once. That means, dear readers, that more of you can read what I write!
I really think that two thousand pounds might be a teeny bit much to let me talk on the internet but, as he says, the latest 'blog' software is terribly complicated. Oh, gosh, look at me using technical terms like I am some kind of techno-grandmother! Blog means 'web diary', although that doesn't really make much sense to me at the moment. I'm sure I'll get it later.
Anyway, all the best for now. I'll write more to you later. Don't forget to leave your computer on so that it gets to you!
Yours,
Mildred

First Thailand banned YouTube, then two weeks later Siam Tube is launched.
They actually do worse things, like torturing Tibetan nuns, and you worry whether you can access your favourite search engine in China?
And the US tortures terror suspects before they are proven guilty in a court of law.

Gee you must have some really good stuff as you have also said Wikipedia copied some of your site.
Someone's a little cranky?
But yes, I do, and both is probably true for anyone with a site running with original content for a couple of years.
how about a link to all the wonderful stuff of yours?
I'm not here to plug my site. You'll have to trust me on this one.
1) I live in the third world (Costa Rica)
2) I read books? Check this one out. Of course, books are never a source of knowledge. Especially ones written by Pulitzer prize winners.
3) I have traveled a hell of a lot.
4) I stay up to date with current events (and I don't mean Paris Hilton, Britney Spears or Angelina Jolie).
