Blogger has been blocked in China

In the past week, my friends in China kept complaining that they can't access my blogs any more while it was okay previously. But all my friends out of China can see my blogs without any problem. So I guess Google Blogger must be blocked in China. I just did a search using Google Blog Search and found out sth. interesting. Somebody says the outbound requests to blogspot.com would hit the firewall. Even though you are able to write your posts and publish them, but you won't be able to see your published blog anyway! It sounds ridiculous! No wonder blogger.com is not as popular in China as anywhere else on the earth. Maybe hardly any people in China know it even it provides a powerful blogging platform!

Now I have several blogs on blogger.com. I wrote nothing related to political things. But my friends just can't read them, can't share my happiness with me. What's wrong? Pretty sad!
