Bloomberg is much more bullish on China than say the New York Times. But even the WSJ, which is really unashamedly pro China to a fault, got blocked eventually. China (edit: the Chinese government) just doesn't like real news.


I was just in China and walked into the Shanghai central library ... stairway up to the top floor ... big reading room, nice chairs, newspapers.

Read that days[1][2] New York Times in its entirety. No problem. WSJ was there too. South China Seas news, etc.

[1] Well, the day before, technically ...

[2] Yes, the real NYT, not the herald tribune or whatever...


Ah well, in that case maybe my Internet is just having "technical problems" as China Telecom keeps telling me (we don't block facebook! It must be facebook's fault, stop bothering us!)


The New York Times was hacked by chinese agents and has been repeatedly threatened to not report on the finances of Chinese leaders. So yeah they're not hesitant to write articles that put China in a bad light.
