How can you tell what number it is?

Frightening. Great list though. I love the fact that it's list #666(6).

Mao and Hu were not allowed in the subject lines of Microsoft's MSN Spaces. That's probably because China's leaders are considered "off limits," rather than controversial.

Last I heard, China had 40,000 internet police scanning for improper internet use. When you hit upon a suspicious site, a happy, animated jingjing, or police officer, appears on your screen giving you a wag of the finger. If you're not careful, your door will get kicked down in the middle of the night.

In 2006, Yahoo helped China gain access to journalist Shi Tao's email. Tao was arrested and faces up to 10 years in prison.

For those of you in China who wish to surf anonymously and get around the firewall, you can use proxying tools (though at your own risk), such as anonymouse.org, Freenet, and TriangleBoy.
