# Censorship in [[China]] ## [[Bullog]] Mentioned in [[This is Not Propaganda]] to __ [[Wikipedia]] page: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Bullog.cn ### [Bullog Shut Down](https://chinadigitaltimes.net/2009/01/bullog-shut-down/) Links: [[Bullog]] [[China Digital Times]] on [[2009-01-09]] > Today a prominent mainland blog site, [bullog.cn](http://www.bullog.cn/), was blocked, which may also be connected to Charter 08. A few of the liberal outlet’s bloggers wrote about the document, and at least four signed it. I spoke briefly with Bullog founder Luo Yonghao this afternoon. He said he wasn’t sure why the site was blocked, and wouldn’t speculate on a Charter 08 connection. C.A. Yeung of the Under the Jacaranda Tree blog [noted](https://underthejacaranda.wordpress.com/2008/12/28/more-charter-08-casualties-bullog-purged-ran-yunfei-suspended/) in December that Bullog had dropped two of its bloggers, apparently for writing about Charter 08. The [Associated Press](https://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gWnevrdW9bQ6A502eXZLl1ptzn0AD95JMQC80) also writes more on bullog.cn’s shutdown: > “I got an e-mail from the Beijing Communications Administration this afternoon, saying the Web site contained harmful comments on current affairs and therefore will be closed,” he said, declining to elaborate. > > It was not known whether the shutdown of bullog.cn was permanent. The site, home to some outspoken social and political commentary, was closed temporarily last year during a key Communist Party congress after criticism of the meeting was posted. > > […] A cache version of bullog.cn viewed Friday night did not reveal any particularly outspoken content, though the site likely had ties to a bold online petition circulated last month called “Charter 08.” The document called for a new Chinese constitution guaranteeing human rights and was signed by more than 300 lawyers, writers, scholars and artists.
