The best option is a virtual private network (VPN). There are free ones available. I used hotspot shield but it might be blocked now. A quick google search for “VPN in China” or something to that effect should do the trick.

That’s is a tight photo, my man. I like! I’ve had many an out-of-body moment where I’m left wondering how I had the courage to say what I just said. Telling someone you’re a China blogger isn’t bad…you might want to tell them you’re an amateur Sinologist who is also tapped into the global health care scene.

They’ll go: “Huh? Can you say that again?”
You’ll repeat: “I’m an amateur Sinologist who is also…”

Then stand back and observe their facial expression. Revel in the moment.

Small typo here:

Ten years ago, “China blogging” might have been an appropriate terminology. We were still in internet flux. Web 2.0 was still but a glimmer in Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter’s Biz Stone and Evan Williams’ eyes.
