Firewall: Defeated in today’s battle but the war rages on

I spent a good chunk of this morning trying to upload an interesting cycling photo. But this time, my siege against China’s Great Firewall was unsuccessful. I lost this battle but the war rages on. I’ve spoken to many expats who agree with me. The ongoing restrictions on the Internet has them seriously rethinking their future in China. It’s got us thinking that maybe it is time to leave. The irony is that Chinese leaders keep urging industries to be more creative and innovative. But how can this really be done in such a restrictive environment?
