AFP recently published a story about "Blogger Leads China to Free-Thinking Revolution." Here's a quote:
In Communist Party-ruled China, the media -- including the regular Internet -- is tightly controlled by the government.
But blogs offer a means of dodging the censors, allowing more freedom of expression and, ultimately, freedom of thought.
"It's only natural for human beings to express themselves and share their views. But the Chinese people have been repressed for so long and they have always kept silent. They couldn't find an exit," (Isaac) Mao (a website developer) said.
"They need this tool to give them the freedom to express themselves. Blogs can be a very empowering tool to them," he said.
