FeedBurner Feeds are Unavailable in China

It's sad to know that feedburner feeds are unable to be visited by people who use China Telecom broadband, but worse news may come to us in a few days, because we are sure that this "accident" is caused by Government-based internet supervisory systems and blogger Williamlong has proved it (in Chinese).

I hope feedburner is temporarily blocked, like what it has been one year ago. However, this time it's possibly banned for long... Associating that Jinan and Shantou Telecom dared to suspend thousands of innocent servers without negotiation nor notifying , how can I confidently say that a foreign website which contains countless "sensitive information" will survive?

If you are as disappoint as I am, you can:
  1. stop blogging!
  2. switch to other foreign online RSS Readers, like Google reader and Bloglines.
  3. persuade your readers to subscribe your original RSS feed, or use Feedsky as a substitute. (example http://feed.feedsky.com/yaiyee)
  4. say goodbye to China.
