May be this is also the reason why some smart people in China have started
to mirror interesting-to-them but sensible-in-content sites? My own
collection of cryptographic pointers,
http://www.tml.hut.fi/~helger/crypto/ has been mirrored a while as
http://infosec.cs.pku.edu.cn/~tly/helger-crypto/ - and I know it is not
the only popular site; they have e.g. mirrored the cryptographic part of
the Counterpane webpage. Although I am not sure this has been done since
they wouldn't be able to access the sites otherwise... My original pages
have received some hits from China during THIS weekend.
