China, human rights, internet freedom, and the Great Wall of Filtering

This post may seem a bit strange to you.
After my last post I was checking my counter stats and noticed something funny. Suddenly I got a lot of hits from China. From sources like: CNC Group and Chinanet
Places like: Shandong province; Hunan province; Shanxi, to name a few.
Wow, I thought to myself. Are all of these people that interested in the American Civil Rights movement? I was wondering: Are these people “googling” civil rights information?
Or is it something more sinister?
Say maybe a government looking for information that they wish to block their citizens from viewing or having access to. The type of hits I received do not appear to be people reading the blog. The site visits are of too short a duration. (If you don’t already know – counter statistics can be quite detailed – go to the bottom of the page and click on the icon to see for yourself)

China is commonly criticized for violations of basic human rights. Under the guise of blocking pornography, China was widely known to have purchased Microsoft programs and to have made deals with other software, search engines and platforms that have been modified to filter out content that the Chinese government finds objectionable. According to http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/filtering/china it appears that the set of sites blocked in China is by no means static: whoever maintains the lists is actively updating them, and certain general-interest high-profile sites whose content changes frequently appear to be blocked and unblocked as those changes are evaluated. I took a look a list of blocked sites. Trust me, they are not blocking porn.

For instance there is a topic that is still taboo in mainland China and an image that the entire world (minus a big chunk of China) has seen. A picture that many of us will never forget.

The Tiananmen Square Massacre of 1989, where students, intellectuals, and urban workers protested against the government. Martial law was declared and troops moved in. The communist party claimed that there were only 23 civilian deaths. The CIA averaged that the number was around 400 to 800. And the Chinese red cross estimated that there were 2600 deaths.
Like Mark Twain said: “There are three types of lies: Lies; Damn lies; and statistics.”
In any event, at the very least, there were thousands that were injured. The Chinese authorities apparently don’t use riot gear and tear gas. They used tanks and bullets. It still works. But it is a little heavy handed. Don’t you think? The point is that this is old news to you and me, but rarely seen in China.

So here is my question? Especially after this post, am I persona non grata in China?
Am I blocked? Am I filtered? Have I been placed outside “The Great Wall”? Or have I fallen victim to my own conspiracy theory-ism?

If you have access to someone in China, have them Google this site and let me know.
