China: Censorship: Bloggers severely censored by Communist China

A Hat Tip to LaShawn Barber (Dec4,2k6), mega-blogger extrordinaire for her brief remarks on China's program of censoring blogers, using Canadian and American corporations to carry out the program in exchange for their right to do business on the mainland. And many thanks, LaShawn, for the trove of relevant and uptodate URLs as follows (I clickedup and read them all!):
