Q: Are the Twitter and Facebook icons on eChinacities a joke?

Both Twitter and Facebook are unaccessible from China, so does eChinacities put them for fashion or because they have a VPN access?

That is a really good question.  I never even noticed them until now.  They were probably put there by some web monkey with a sense of humor or has stock in a VPN company.  Smile

Kolbol:

shanghaiist, beijinger, cityweekend and other expat websites based in China also have their own twitter and facebook accounts. Or am I missing something o.O

I find this question strange. The majority of expat websites have links to twitter and facebook because wakey, wakey...most people either invest in a VPN these days or switch between free proxies!!!!

It was announced at the end-ish of Sept that they put the badges up. EChinaCities does have a facebook account. They post some of the questions and answers from here on their page. 

But think about it... this site HAS to be run on a vpn with all the stuff we get away with talking about. And yes, this site is coming to you live from China... or at least has a DNS/IP within China.
