This is really, really interesting ... a Firefox add-on that enables you to see the web from a Chinese web-user's perspective.
You can download it here ... As the site-owners put it ... "Take an unforgetable virtual trip to China and experience the technical expertise of the Chinese Ministry of Information Industry (supported by western companies)."
Your connection is then routed through a proxy web server located somewhere in China, which means that you experience the Chinese web ... "For the most part the Chinese web will feel a lot like home. You will, however, begin to notices differences if you start asking Google about sensitive issues (for example Tananmen Square protests, or Pro Tibetan issues)."
Really interesting idea and a great way of bringing an issue to life ... quite literally enabling us to see the world through the eyes of the people that an organisation is supporting ...
