It's just too bad that the "Great Firewall" doesn't work so well in the other direction.

The solution is simple: the U.S. government should put all their important servers on IP addresses leased from Rogers, etc.

When I was in Beijing I could surf Slashdot without any problems at all, but the firewall wouldn't allow me to connect to my home server to get my email. I'm not sure if they were blocking the 24.0.0.0/8 network because they think the home servers are more likely to contain political messages or if it was just a matter of not allowing contact with DHCP addresses because they can't IP-ban content that's moving and would have to use real-time filters.
