China blocks more sites ahead of anniversary

Apart from Google owned YouTube (since March) and Blogger (since middle of May) which were already blocked earlier, as of Tuesday China censors have blocked access also to Twitter, Bing, Flickr, Opera, Live, Wordpress and Hotmail...
That is this is added to the sites which are blocked always anyway, like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Reporters Without Borders...the list goes on and on...



20 years later China still thinks it can hide its skeletons in the wardrobe.
Or judging from the apathy and silence of the Chinese citizens, maybe it can?!

apparently China wants to keep it old school, Web 1.0, until further notice
