Gizmodo has some info. but I wanted to find a less trashy source; the register has a story [1].

Which raises the question: when will the rest of the world kick China of the internet? First it was redirecting Chinese internet users to random IPs, if the government didn't like their DNS queries and now they're doing ddos attack on a site that host a large percentage of open source code, used for a whole host of service and products. At some point it's going to make more economical sense to kick China of the inter…

The internet is how we maintain dialogue between peoples when our Governments behave like posturing (arse|ass)+holes. The worse a Government behaves the more (not less) internets the country should receive.

And turn China into North Korea?
Think about it: the government wants to cut us off from the rest of the world, that would make them happy, but would PISS a lot of people off. Anyways, if the westerners did it for the Chinese government, the people would be angry at them rather than the government...
