Journal Journal: China blocking access to surfers in the west?

I have heard of censorship of sites by China's great firewall from inside China, but when I go to the URL:

http://news.sohu.com/s2008/tibet/

And click on the first link: http://news.sohu.com/20080327/n255932131.shtml it loads for a while, and then BAM, connection reset. This occurs for several other articles about Tibet.

What is strange is that the article itself is not negative of the chinese government (disclaimer: I can't read chinese but this is what I hear), and the articles are hosted on a popular chinese site and not something like CNN.

Update: Apparently minutes after I posted this that page no longer reset connections, but the /tibet link is still doing it.

Update: It looks like it's sometimes resetting connection and sometimes not (this is happening on every site linked on that page with all the tibet articles)... I have no idea what's going on anymore.
