China Blocks Access To Twitter, Facebook After Riots

Following last weekend’s deadly riots in its western region of Xinjiang, China’s central government has taken all the usual steps to block citizens from accessing foreign web services: aside from crippling Internet service in general, the authorities have blocked Twitter, removed unapproved references to the violence from search engines and has now apparently moved to bar its citizens from… » Full Story on TechCrunch

I was just informed they weren't going to put a chip in their new computer, I guess they found a reason why, that always works. Too bad. People hate to be suppressed

China may suck, but we American's have given them the economic climb to power-we have helped make an enemy stronger ever since Bill (another stupid democrat) Clinton gave them favored trade nation status, then the brain dead George W. Bush ran our debt up so high, they(China) ended up buying our treasury notes in high amounts-we are now basically owned by China.

Who in the "sam hill" has been behind the AP reported cyber attacks that shut down the Federal Government websites and the Pentagon's previously??!!

China has the power of financial life and death over us - less we cast off the yoke of economic bondage! Where is Charlton Heston ("Moses") when you really need him!

China has been buying our treasuries since Carter days, or lets say when the lobbying began. Every country owns a piece of the US. There is nothing new. I think most people are awakening from that fact, computers make us wiser, but all this started before the Clinton days, Bill just hammered the nail in the coffin. I don't trust anyone in Washington, you have to get wise, they are always the same. They want that cushy job, $169, not bad plus the million from the Lobbyists, and they have the best healthinsurance and retirment. So they want to keep their cow going and this includes lying and deceiving us. Welcome to the real world.

Satellite based twitter! Let's make it happen. Oh, right, the Chinese have a hobby of blasting s*** to pieces up there and DOUBLING the amount of space junk, stupid arrogant pricks that they are. I hope the REAL Chinese that represent the people string up those Communist bastards by their yin yangs.

After seeing the Chinese reaction to the Olympics, is this really any surprise? And come to think.. maybe they actually learned something from Iran?

I understand we are already being monitored by Barry's gang. I guess when we get to the point that we are passing too much negative info about him around that'll be the end of us having chat and all the other things we have access too. They are already changing sites that we find and quote so that the info is removed or altered.

Typical Government Entities. Just supressing the truth from those who really want to know. Maybe we should boycott everything that comes from China and even stop accepting the Chinese way of thinking.

I am sure a boycott of Chinese products would be the best thing.

Seriously, MJ has been dead since the 80's. Since he fell off his rocker and decided to be a white/asian'ish ghoulish tree climbing, f***** clone making, kiddie dwidling, ignorant freak!

China - 'They own us, and they are BADDER' should be across every newspaper in America right now.

I think some major s*** is going to go down in the US within the next 3 years, the Gov. knows about it and will simply play off of the events and control our public speculation of whats truly happening.

Like 9/11 .
