The censors had blacklisted the last site where the young journalist had posted his spirited political essays, and he seemed unwilling to tone down his writing at the new address.<\/p>\n<p>But Zhao, better known by the pen name Anti, told fellow bloggers not to worry. If the government objected to his blog, he predicted, Microsoft would &#8220;sell me out&#8221; and delete it rather than risk being blocked from computer screens across China.<\/p>\n<p>He was right. Four and a half months after he began posting essays challenging the Communist Party&#8217;s taboo against discussing politics, Zhao published an item protesting the purge of a popular newspaper&#8217;s top editors. Officials called Microsoft to complain, and Microsoft quickly erased his blog.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\nSee also Philip Pan&#8217;s live discussion of China and the Digital Revolution, on washingtonpost.com (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/content\/discussion\/2006\/02\/16\/DI2006021601761.html\" target=\"_blank\">link<\/a>).\n<\/p>\n<p><!-- technorati tags start --><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:right;font-size:10px;\">Technorati Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/anti\" rel=\"tag\">anti<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/China\" rel=\"tag\">China<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/microsoft\" rel=\"tag\">microsoft<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- technorati tags end --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From The Washington Post (link): When Zhao Jing moved his blog to Microsoft&#8217;s popular MSN Spaces site last summer, some users worried the Chinese government would block the entire service.
