Good and complete description of the rise of blogging in China, correctly identifying key figures in the movement (such as Isaac Mao) and recounting the Chinese bloggers' ongoing altercations with web censors. Worth mentioning (because it's not in the article) is that there is a strong similarity between the Chinese blogging experience and the Iranian experience - sites like FarsiBlogs have become important loci for ideas and opinions. Good article, well worth a read.
