China reportedly shuts down blog – AP

From Ap, via Seattlepi.com:

Chinese authorities have blocked a pro-democracy Web log after it was nominated for a freedom of expression award by a German radio station, a press freedom group said Thursday.

The blog, titled Wang Yi’s Microphone, dealt with “sensitive subjects” and was maintained by a teacher from Sichuan province, Paris-based Reporters Without Borders said in a statement.

China’s communist government encourages Internet use for education and business, but blocks material deemed subversive or pornographic.
