The Chinese government has invested in copycats of US service companies and wants to eliminate the competition. They cant outrightly do this or there will be problems, the answer? "technical" problems. Remember when google was blocked 'on demand' and ebay was down or very slow for days at a time? These were all 'DNS problems' now we have 'routing problems'. Feedsky is the company which has copied feedburner and has private investment from government officials in the MII which is responsible for maintaining 'safe' internet for Chinese citizens. Fuck you CCP. Feedburner is suffering what ebay, google, youtube and a few others have suffered.

Google often has access errors (especially when sending multiple requests within a short time frame), and seeing that Baidu never has the same issues, my guess is that even if the GFC isn't specifically blocking feedburner, others are interfering with it either for political reasons or just to give a leg up to competitors. It sure has worked to get all of us bloggers in China to stop using Feedburner. Whatever the source of the error, it sure is one big pain in the ass.

I find it pretty amazing that the "routing error" is affecting one specific site that allows access to hundreds of other sites that are affected by the Chinese firewall. Does anyone else see the fishiness of that? Perhaps it will amazingly be resolved sometime mid-October? I mean, how does a routing problem take as long to fix as the darn underwater cables that were damaged in last year's Taiwan earthquake? Hey Rick, thanks for the info.

This appears to *not* be a function of being blocked, rather it appears to be a routing error with China Telecom. We're attempting to resolve this with China Telecom asap, we'll post more info in our forums once we hear anything. But as far as we can tell, this is not Chinese firewall issue. --Rick Klau Google (FeedBurner) Ryan – Actually, we have a bit of an update for you.
