China Temporarily Shuts Down More Blogs

Posted on March 9, 2006

The BBC reports that China has shut down more blogs including Massage Milk, a blog that has provided critical coverage of the Chinese media and government. Danwei.org said in a post last year that Massage Milk is China's best blog. It is run by a blogger Dai San Ge Biao, whose real name is Wang Xiaofeng. Xiaofeng is a journalist for Life Weekly magazine. What is confusing is that Massage Milk is suddenly back online. Danwei.org also says they were told it was an April Fool's Joke, but it's a little early for that to be true.

Milk Pig, another blog reported to have been disappeared, is also back in action. Both Massage Milk and Milk Pig are hosted on Yculblog.com. However the third blog mentioned in yesterday's Danwei report, Pro State in Flames is still not functioning.
Hmm.

Danwei also said Yculblog.com, the host of the blogs taken offline, would not comment on the issue.
