This quote from an article in Yahoo regarding the banning of blogging in China is some what contrary to what I am hearing from Pat Delaney at the Galileo School in San Francisco who are working with a group of students in two different Shanghai High Schools - actively figuring out how to get Manila proficient in Chinese characters.
"At least one nation, China, is actively tracking blogs. It's also reportedly trying to block blogs. Several press reports earlier this year said the government shut two blogging services and banned access to all Web logs by Chinese citizens. Many journalists write blogs and use other blogs to help find sources or verify facts and rumors. Blogs hail from just about any spot on the globe. They can provide first-hand insights into local events and thinking, even in parts of the world where there's little official information." [Yahoo News]
