internet - 'Adopt a Chinese blog' takes off


Isaac Mao announces the 'Adopt a Chinese blog' project on his weblog. The project should help Chinese webloggers in dealing with the ongoing efforts to regulate the blogosphere and has hampered their development.
Especially since April 2005, when the law on non-profit website registration became effective, website owners are required to submit their real personal information when they register their websites. The annual registration process as well as hefty penalty for failure in compliance have angered many website owners that use an independent virtual server and domain names.
Therefore, many bloggers in mainland China began to consider moving their blogs outside of China. But because of language barrier, financial, payment and other issues, the cost of moving is rather high and the situation is not optimistic.

They now ask bloggers outside China for help. The wikipage of the projects tells you how to participate.
