Heaps of sites are blocked in China. http://www.greatfirewallofchina.org/ has a test to check whether a site is blocked in China (unfortunately, looks like it's down at the moment).
Google is blocked, Wikipedia is blocked, Flickr is blocked, MegaUpload is blocked, other sites are blocked too. Supposedly, they block all blogs as well :o

As far as I know, the main Google site (google.com) is blocked. google.cn is allowed, but search results are censored (several results are omitted)

Yes. If you get caught you will be in trouble though.

You missed the point of that comprehension. The difference between western blogs and chinese blogs is that one exists and the other doesn't.

jk :P

And yes, it is oh-so-sweet that we're giving Bogged-down old Server grief. :)
