Steve Clemons of the Washington Note is over in China, and he reports that it's getting increasingly easy to get around China's official censorship of many Web sites:
I have been checking news and policy websites in the UK, France, Germany, Iran, Russia, Canada, Poland, Brazil, Indonesia, Japan, and others to see significant blocks -- but the only newspaper I have not been able to get that I wanted to get was the Philadelphia Inquirer -- which a young person here showed me how to reach through a back channel site.
In fact, this young person walking through internet access issues with me said that Chinese young people can essentially access anything that the government might try and does block. This person who works in international affairs says that the ability of the Chinese government to significantly control access to web-based content is quickly eroding.
