We are a group of 3 students working on a project about blogs in China. We are interested in further understanding the views of Chinese Bloggers or even Bloggers in China and how they deal with China's strict Internet system and its censorship. We have been researching different articles about this matter and have come across some interesting yet important information. Therefore, we are passing this survey around, to get a more personal and real perspective of this vital subject.
