internet - The weblog crackdown

The blogosphere it up on arm after different efforts to register China websites came into force on June 1. Sitting now in Brussels, and leaving for Holland tomorrow, it is very hard to get a right assesment of what is really going on. Of course, there is the ritual uproar outside China, here in an overview by Rebecca, but there are very few reactions from China itself.
Too often the registration drive in China just does not mean that much and I have seen no solid signs that would indicate it is different this time. A bit of a nuisance to be out of China right now.
