RobertLam18: Interesting, you seem to have the inside scoop to the whole story, please tell us more. By the way your blog is blocked by the Chinese government.

Just an odd fact I’d like to share: On the days concerned, YouTube was down from time to time in Germany as well as Cambodia. I wonder how that is possible. (No, I’m not a conspiracy theorist )

As far as the so far crackdown is concern, there is no evidence of violence from the Chinese Police. There is no need to block youtube. Maybe it is the authoritiy’s standard protocol for such events.

Youtube sprung back to life in the PRC last night around 11pm. It’s piping through, unfettered, down here in Zhejiang province.

Good thing the USA is not suppressive, right?

Anyway, this explains what happened to Benny, the Mandarin teacher from Shanghai, why I haven't seen any clips from him lately.

PS 胡紫薇 clips have also mysteriously disapeared from tudou.com where for a while they were the most viewed China video..

However the youtube ban must be just over all the fears on many levels especially the Tibet issue resurfacing Olympics looming. Looks like China is desperate to save face... wow who would have thought...... unfortunately if this is what really is happening then such actions themselves, hiding and supresion, in my opinion are the real reason why they should and do lose it.

Its Blocked for me too... CANT Help but thinking this is related to the Hu ZiWei upset where she called out China's problems and of course her husbands infidelity on live TV opening show of the new Olympic television station aka CCTV 5. There doing everything to supress that story and youtube had it all over...

Well actually come to think of it this may be more a move to supress Tibet riot videos than the prior far more disturbing.

PS I heard Hu ZiWei may have also commited suicide recently... unbelievable if true sad story.
