Then, why are all web sites (local and international) with SARS related contents blocked?

I'd be surprised if that were still the case today, as my contacts in mainland China tell me that the state media is now so obsessed with SARS you wouldn't know they have a ton of other problems. Things can change rather quickly under a dictatorship.

Yes, your local contact is 100% correct.

Only state media (that lies and falsify data) are allowed to report SARS. All other non-state web sites regarding SARS are blocked. The government wants the people to listen to one voice only, be it true or false.

What choice do you have under a dictatorship?
