Keep in mind that most of the most anti-government stuff we translate is from blogs written by mainland Chinese that aren't blocked in China, either. Thinking back on the first 200, there's only one or two that I think might incur the wrath of the banhammer, and one of those DID get us blocked even in English (which is why it's not F**** G*** or FG). I suppose there's a few Ai Weiwei posts that wouldn't go over well, but I think it'd be doable. @ stuart:

So basically, you'd end up pulling your punches. Don't let the next 200 be any less probing than the first 200, whatever the language. Nice work, btw. “We’d have to be more careful about the Chinese-language content, obviously.”

We'd have to be more careful about the Chinese-language content, obviously. That said, I currently live in the US, so the Chinese government would be hard-pressed to arrest <em>me</em>. But yes, those are concerns and that's part of the reason why it may take a while to get the whole thing up and running. @ Josh: Yeah, that’s a good point about it getting blocked.

But, I must raise the point that if you extend this blog to the Chinese language, how long do you think it will be before it's blocked (again) in China? Many people even think that if you write something subversive online, the government can track you to your computer and arrest you. It actually happened to a student at a university here in Tangshan.
