Annoyed by yet another effort to block parts of the internet - this time including Google - Beijing-based internet entrepreneur Jeremy Goldkorn wrote on his website Danwei to net nanny, name for the collective Chinese efforts to censor the internet, and the country's leading TV channel CCTV.
After spelling out what he likes about China:

You are making Chinese people look like children on the world stage.

You are bringing shame to the People's Republic of China, and the Chinese Communist Party.

Whoever made this decision, you have lost face for the Chinese people.
