lol wasn't someone praising the freedom of expression and speech in China few weeks ago... o_O Maybe they're trying to defend their citizens from Günther :P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPrnduGtgmc I wonder what "Google is working on it" means... maybe they release some totally cencored up Chinese version of it... o_O Meh I liked the cute videos Chinese used to add in there...

I've heard that there is something like ''The Great Firewall of China'' ( Golden Shield Project-in reference both to its role as a network firewall and to the ancient Great wall of China- )and it doesn't let you log in some certain web pages like : youtube. Ah also try not to crticize your governement on the internet because as I've heard again there are internet police estimated at more than 30.000 and if critical comments appear on internet forums,blogs, and major portals,they are usually erased within minutes. (0_o) so, as DanO mentioned above, talk to your Governement.. o(^_^)o

Hello Lucia, You mean certain you tube videos or all together ? Either it is a problem with your connection's speed or a technical problem but if it is only for certain videos than it must be censorship.

When I visited China I couldn't navigate to many of my favorite websites, either. I understand that the government blocks internet sites that they think are objectionable. The block is easy to get around because the technology is not great, but please be careful. I don't know if there is a punishment if the government discovers you. Probably the easiest way to get around the block is to use a proxy server. You ask the proxy server to get the web pages you want. The proxy server gets the pages from the real server and then sends them to you. That way it looks like you're browsing the proxy instead of youtube. You should know that proxies make your connection less private because they will obviously know what sites you visit. You may have trouble with youtube videos because flash videos don't always work with proxies. I don't understand the details, I'm sorry to say. Fortunately there are people all over the world who want to help you browse the internet. Here is a website that has more details and help. If you like, you can change the language to Chinese by clicking on the flag on the right near the top. http://www.sizlopedia.com/2008/08/21/how-to-bypass-great-firewall-of-china/ If the site is blocked, copy and paste the address into the box at this address: http://translate.google.com/translate_t# This is the google website translation service and it can work as an easy proxy. Tell it to translate from Finnish to English. That won't do anything to the content of the website at all, but it will change the address hopefully enough to fool the censors.
