The stupidity of Chinese government

"Beijing blocks bloggers" from Reuters via News.com.

China has blocked a site used by hundreds of thousands people worldwide to post Web logs, according to bloggers and the site's developer.

BlogSpot.com, where people write about their daily lives up to several times a day, has been inaccessible through Chinese networks for a week, they said.

"This is not due to a technical problem,'' said Jason Shellen, business development director at San Francisco-based Pyra Labs, which runs the Web site.

People talking about their day-to-day lives are a threat to the state?

Guess so.
