My Website is blocked in China – Hah! I’m flattered

greatfirewallofchina

I was just in China for a work thing, when I checked the Duck of Minerva (the IR blog where I also write) for something. Turns out the Duck is screened out by the Great Firewall. Even if you go to Google Search Hong Kong, it’s still blocked.

Wow. Who knew even nerdy IR theory and pop culture references posed a threat to CCP rule? Lame. Even more lame – my own website, which gets way less traffic, is blocked too. For sites as small as mine, that’s almost a complement – hah. If only I had readers similarly interested enough to even bother…

  1. Not one to burst your bubble professor but if I remember correctly from when I lived in China it’s the entirety of wordpress (and blogspot for that matter) that is blocked, not just your blog.

    Oh and since this is apparently my first comment, may I say that I much enjoy your blog 🙂
