Is Egypt the next Tunisia? And should Western governments be supporting popular protest movements?

China Microblogs Block Chinese Word for 'Egypt'
By Michael Kan, IDG News China's microblogs have blocked searches for the word "Egypt," a sign that the Chinese government is trying to limit public knowledge of the political unrest occurring in the Middle East.

The blocking appeared to begin over the weekend on the Chinese Twitter-like services operated by Sina, Tencent and Sohu. Queries using the Chinese word for "Egypt" brought no results. "In accordance with the relevant laws, regulations and policies, the search result did not display," said the response on the Sina microblogging site. The English word for "Egypt," however, is still searchable across the sites.
