    hi,
    i watched some documentary on tv where some swiss people/artists presented their way to bypass the internet censorship in china.

    it is working by displaying website images instead of html. these images could not be filtered by the chinese government.

    dont know if this was already discussed here or if you know the project.


    here the website ...

    You have to be careful on posting this, I heard of forums being banned from China for objectable contents. Posting how to bypass China censorship seemed a bit dangerous here :(
    And there is no way for you to appeal, they never let you know you are banned in the first place. Even huge companies like Google sometimes can't do anything much with China.

    No, no offense at all, it is well meaning intentions. But I do not want our China friends here at DP to be blocked :)

    Just to add some personal experiences, for China, you can talk money, you can talk religion or anything but you can't talk politics, politics that don't go in line with their official policy. A China friend of mine setup a nice forum with a political discussion section, some discussion on China politics and the next thing he knew his China users can't access, no reason whatsoever. He removed that section, change his hosting provider and everything is normal again. I guess this is what is known as self censorship :(

    For China, leave their politics to the Chinese, they hate others commenting on them.

    Guess China's got more in common with the middle east than I would've given it credit for :D
