The owner of the China's "hold out" house has been found! And, a pioneering "bridge blogger" has translated a long interview with him.

It only lends fuel to the fire about the Google anti-free -advertising conspiracy theory doesnt it. Seems a bit extreme though if you ask me. Unless its some sort of 'homeland security' paranoia thing the meaning of which i have no idea about.
