The Great Firewall of China is truly keeping out foreigners, like its brick-and-mortar counterpart built centuries ago. Only this modern wall keeps out ideas. What a reflection of the small minds that exists in the powers that be. Narrow minds I can tolerate, at least there is a path. Small minds? They're not going anywhere.
Imagine the Internet Archive being blocked. This is so wrong. And ironic too that there are so many libraries in Shanghai. So are they promoting or restricting access to information?
Small minds aside, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina looks like an interesting place to work...
