Youtube

Youtube has been blocked in China for several weeks, at this point I don't think it's likely that we will see the sight back for a long time. Really ... who knows.
The issue stems from the beating of Tibetan monks by Chinese police. The video was leaked to youtube, and of course China rushed in, denied the legitimacy of the video, and blocked youtube. essentially instilling further ignorance to this nation.
Many westeners are pretty pissed off about this, i mean youtube is a huge part of my life. I use it to do research, learn guitar, find videos for my english corners, all kinds of things. It has some people ready to leave China.
