    Youtube is not blocked in China. Not at this point, at least.

    Google has enough resource to filter whatever content the Chinese government wants it to filter. It is hard enough to compete with all the YouTube clones in China already, why fight with the government.

    backed by Google, i think YT will censor all its content just like Google's search results. it shouldn't be a problem to cont' operate, but will be criticized by non-Chinese users.

    I wonder how YouTube manage to block global content. The work to filter the content might not be economical. Maybe youtube.cn will be a closed network? Upload and download by Chinese only.

    I am sure YouTube will apply heavy filtering for Youtube.cn site, and end up getting a permit to operate in China.
