I received the following e-mail from a Chinese reader:
I am a student of China University of Politics & Law , and a faithful reader of your "Brian Leiter Reports ". Your research in legal theory & Philosophy ,especially in American Legal Realism & Nietzsche ,was often cited in some Chinese scholars' essays.
But since July ,2005 , the Typedpad was blocked by the Chinese Government . I don’t know much about network , I can only check the google ‘s “cached” to know what’s new in your Blog.
I don’t mean to critized our government or our Party ：） , though I feel very upset and inconvenient. There are many readers of “ Leiter Reports” in China . I believe they have the same feeling.
I write this letter to tell you the situation. I will be very happy to get your reply . At last , I am sorry about my poor English writing , like many Chinese students , i don’t get enough training in our English course :)
(My correspondent's English is a lot better than my Chinese! When you consider how difficult English is, and how different Chinese is, I am always impressed by the quality of the English from correspondents in China.)
Comments are open; do any tech-savvy readers have ideas? I know nothing about how "blocking" works and whether the blocks can be evaded.
