Year 2011, new beginning outside of the wall



Apologies to all for the lack of updates in the past month. To clear all the speculations, ChinaHush is not under any pressure by anyone, and no government conspiracy. I have just been traveling in China for the past month with no free time to post new entries. And my plan of having volunteers to update the blog during my absence also did not work so well due to scheduling issues.

To be honest, it was also discouraging to find out ChinaHush being blocked in China the night before my travels. Some measures were taken and methods tried, but I was not able to unblock ChinaHush. We now just have to live outside of the Great Fire Wall.

Now I have just returned from my trip, writing the first post in year 2011 to ensure you that I am not abandoning ChinaHush. Quite the opposite, I have made many plans for CH, so stay tuned for these exciting changes coming soon

Here are some photos I snapped on my trip this time. Enjoy!
