Microsoft Website Blocked by Chinese Government

Some people on a forum recommended http://www.greatfirewallofchina.org to check if a web is blocked by Chinese government.

I checked http://www.microsoft.com, the official website for the largest software company on this planet, and interestly found that it was blocked.

The more I tested and more interesting things I found.

I then tested http://www.xinhuanet.com/ and http://www.gov.cn/ the web portals for Chinese Xinhua News Press and Chinese government (Both have English version. Go to click the English). Both were blocked too.


It is very funny that many non-brain westerners belive in that website (go to check the discussion section of that website).
