Porn Star Prompts Chinese to Jump ‘Great Firewall’

TAIPEI, Taiwan (April 21) — In the past few weeks, thousands of Chinese netizens have successfully jumped the “Great Firewall,” China’s cyberblockade on sensitive Internet content.

But they’re not after democracy, human rights or Taiwan independence websites. No, they’re chasing a Japanese porn star.

The porn star in question, Aoi Sola, launched a Twitter site at the end of March. Her Chinese fans went nuts over the news — but then realized Twitter is blocked in China.

No matter — they’ve been distributing software among themselves that allows a user inside China to get around the “Great Firewall.” Thousands have piled into Aoi Sola’s Twitter site already, in a wave of interest that took the Japanese star by surprise.

“What sparked so much discussion about me by Chinese people? What happened?” she wrote, according to the Dongguan Times. “Please tell me.”

The flock to Aoi’s Twitter site shows how easy it is for determined Chinese to get around Beijing’s cybercontrols. But it also highlights what types of content will actually motivate them to go through the trouble.

“In China you can get anything you want on the Internet, you just have to want to bad enough,” said David Wolf, a Beijing-based tech industry expert at Wolf Group Asia.

The Dongguan Times ran photos of the star with an April 13 article headlined “Japanese ‘top girl’ opens microblog, 15,000 Chinese netizens ‘jump the wall’ to pay homage.” The paper reported that users who needed a helping hand over the Great Firewall could get instructions by e-mailing mytwitterclient@gmail.com.

An e-mail to that mailbox got an automated response with detailed instructions in Chinese on how to access Twitter from inside China, plus links.
