There was another thread that ties to this one-the one where the Chinese government was going to block international reporters free access to the web. They are over inflating their own skills if they think they can do that. Reporters might have to do some fancy dancing but they will get what they want.
Which leads us to this story. They arn't going to be able to stop the reporters-It's going to be interesting to see what happens when something realy tough gets thrown at them, that is if we get to hear about it at all. Sure would be interesting.....

It's not the skill to actually block that's really required. It's more the skill to identify. The Chinese authorities can make attempts to block journalists, but if the journalists are working around those blocks, they could find themselves on the wrong side of the Chinese law. On a good day, the journalists might get deported. On a bad day...

Good point, thinking things thru isn't my strong point.
