Bing is dead in China?

    I checked my traffic this morning and saw 3 visitors from bing but when I type the url in my firefox, I just could not see anything but:

    The sever is not responding.

    Does that mean bing is bing blocked or just dead?:D

    It's very possible, seeing as china has already limited access to youtube.

    I did not know China was enforcing such a ban on so many sites! The list is huge with some very prominent names including Twitter, YouTube, Bing, Live, Hotmail, Flickr, Opera, Wordpress and Blogger!!! :eek:

    as far i know only hope for you guy to remove the limit/ban on those site is by using High speed VPN connection..because using proxy is a bad option , will be a problem to stream youtube videos

    Is it even possible to use the Internet in China? It seems like every search term is censored except "The government is awesome."

    The only way that google was allowed into china, was because the management of google agreed to censor its results. Any search engine that refuses to censor certain topics is blocked by the great firewall of china.

    The management of "Bing" might have refused to censor its results, or might not have a way to censor results. So there is a very good chance that the chinese government has blocked bing.

    If what you say is really true, it reflects very bad on google. I did not know it allowed manipulation of search results to satisfy the whims of certain autocratic leaders! :eek: :mad:
    I would commend and applaud the Microsoft management for not falling on their knees for little commercial gains...

    Yep,, dont just take my word for it, here are some links to news sites to backup my statement. These news articles are from 2006. So the censorship has been going on for at least 3 years.

    The BBC - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4645596.stm

    Wired.com - http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2006/01/70081

    CNET - http://news.cnet.com/Google-to-censor-China-Web-searches/2100-1028_3-6030784.html

    If BING refused to censor its search results like what google has done. There is a very good chance that the Chinese government will block access to BING.
