Comments on: Cartoon of the week - 8/3 http://foodpluspolitics.com/2008/08/04/cartoon-of-the-week-83/ A lot of chatter about food ( plus a little about politics ) Thu, 04 Dec 2008 21:28:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: ellaella http://foodpluspolitics.com/2008/08/04/cartoon-of-the-week-83/#comment-3692 ellaella Thu, 16 Oct 2008 14:04:11 +0000 http://foodpluspolitics.com/2008/08/04/cartoon-of-the-week-83/#comment-3692 Hi. I'm not certain, but I took their announcement to mean the sites would be available only during the Olympics. Amnesty could probably tell you for sure. Of course, the very reasons you state for wishing the sites would be available are the reasons China blocks them. How that country ever got Most Favored Nation trade status -- and kept it after Tiananmen Square -- is a mystery to me. Thanks for your comment! Hi.

Or was it only accessible during the Olympic events? I wish China would allow these websites to be accessed, not just for show but because these websites give a lot of people who are oppressed the voice and the will to have hope.
