I am in China at the moment, and have run into some interesting technical difficulties. I cannot seem to access any weblog hosted by blogspot (which is a drag because several of my favorite ones are). It doesn't seem to be city-dependent. I have tried in both Guangzhou and Beijing, and had the problem in both spots. (The hack econometrician in me naturally wants to extrapolate from my two-point data set and conclude that it is therefore an issue for the whole country.) I have also tried on a couple of different machines, with the same result (although I never did figure out why I thought my laptop might have developed a special blogspot filter). I have not had any problems with sites hosted by other services (such as typepad or movabletype).
Is this a global problem that has arisen in the past week, or is it China specific? Anyone have any idea what the deal is?
UPDATE: Oh. Ok. Reader Jordan points me to the answer.
