I just wanted to provide everyone with an update on the Great Chinese Firewall. It’s been about two years since I’ve last spent any significant time in mainland China, and in the time since it seems that China has gotten immeasurably better at enforcing its draconian internet restrictions. While before one could easily bypass the firewall using any number of free proxy services, China has taken steps to block these sites at a heightened pace.
So for those of you planning on visiting China and wishing to have unfiltered access to the internet (I needs me my Facebook), I suggest you download a proxy program before your arrival in China.
