I am an American living and working in Central China. I hear so many stories like this in the Western Media and then I go online and access nearly everything I hear is blocked and I access the net on a common ADSL line, not a corporate or gov. line. Internet usage here is extremely heavy and sometimes the band width is just plane gone and I have trouble accessing some sites, then when band widt improves, access comes back.

If western countries had populations as vast as China's life would be little if any different in the west.
