Gordon at the Horse’s Mouth has just asked me if I can still access his blog-city site from Shanghai. I can’t. Nor can I access other Blog City sites such as Kevin in Pudong or Middle Kingdom Stories.
I ran a trace route and it seems that all of the sites are blocked at the Great Firewall of China.

The work-around loophole that I’ve discovered was actually something I set up a couple of months ago when I encountered a brief ban that only lasted a few hours. After it was lifted I quickly put a couple of other measures into place that would allow me to continue updating my blog, though in limited form.
I also have a mirror site that I establishd after that incident. I will probably start posting to it later today, until the ban has been lifted.

I may even try temporarily removing the post about Taiwan being a possesion of the United States (according to international law) to see if that helps.
