The free blog hosting services Blogspot and Blog City are accessible in Beijing today, after years of being blocked by the Nanny.

Can it possibly last?

Perhaps not, so if you live on the Mainland, take this opportunity to check out these China related blogs hosted on those services:

Holidarity

Taiwan, China, rock music, politics and culture from a journalist who knows these parts well.

China Confidential

A journalist who seems to have some high level sources in various governments blogs about China’s rise. He is not a big fan of the People’s Republic.

Liuzhou Laowai

An Englishman who lives in Liuzhou, Guangxi Province, writes about life and events in Liuzhou and the incompetence of China’s banks.

Angry Chinese Blogger

Despite the name, he seems to be neither Chinese nor consistently angry. He writes extensive commentaries on Chinese politics and news from China.

The Horse’s Mouth

An American who used to live in Chengdu comments on news from China.

Sex and Shanghai

A philandering English teacher shags his way through Shanghai.

Please add URLs of other blogs you like to the comments: the Danwei blog roll / Model Worker awards are going to be updated soon.
