Control of Online Discussion Seems Tighter in China – Josie Liu

From the China in Transition blog:

There are signs that public discussions on the Internet in China have been put under tighter control lately.

Bullog.cn, a blog site featuring intellectuals’ discussion over political, society and cultural topics, is suspended. Currently on its homepage is nothing but one notice that reads: “Bullog is going through additional procedures, and will reopen very soon. Please don’t worry.”

The website does not articulate what kind of “additional procedures” it is going through, but it’s not hard to imagine that they are likely related to government regulations over blog sites.
