On a recent trip to China, author Ingrid Anders discovered that her website, www.ingridanders.com, is blocked. No official rhyme or reason has been given, but the Chinese censors have deemed something in Anders' writing to be unacceptable and are determined to shield the eyes of their 1.3 billion people from it. What could it be? Is it the fact that the sequel to Earth to Kat Vespucci takes places in Taiwan? Is it Anders' criticisms of various governments and cultures. What do you think could be behind the block?
