Digital Media and Web Performance — The Great Firewall of China  

"We have been hearing from our CDN and Monitoring partners throughout the industry and our own customers that more sites, CDNs and networks are being filtered or blocked by the Great Firewall of China.

Made in China | the Anthill  

"I graduated from college with a History and Asian Studies degree, and sought out a China life that would allow me to use my language skills on the job. I was in my early twenties, and my sights couldn’t have been more vague. Eventually, I scored gainful employment in Hong Kong, starting in September 1989. I would stay in that crazy industry for the next twenty-five years ... As the sole Westerner in the company, with the best understanding of foreign ways and the most polished English, I applied those advantages to help each company reel in more business. ...
