Bullog.cn (Шаблон:Zh) was a Chinese-language blogging website, created by Chinese internet celebrity Luo Yonghao. Before it was shut down, it was considered to be one of the most liberal blog portals in Chinese cyberspace.[1]

History

Bullog.cn was founded by Luo Yonghao in 2006, because of his dissatisfaction with the censorship of the major blog portals like sina.com, sohu.com.[2] The Chinese name, 牛博网 (simplified), 牛博網 (traditional), which literally means "Bull Blog Net", appears to be a word play on the word "Blog", since Bull means strong and excellent in colloquial Chinese.

Bullog.cn started by inviting bloggers whom Luo Yonghao personally liked, who turned out to have a strong preference for liberal and scientific points of view. Both were controversial stances in China, and both caused troubles inside and outside the website.Шаблон:Cn

On October 19, 2007, Bullog.cn was shut down, supposedly due to the 17th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party. It was re-opened in April 2008. Luo started an international version of the website, bullogger.com, during that period.Шаблон:Cn

In May 2008, after the Wenchuan earthquake, Luo started a fund raising campaign in Bullog.cn, and delivered the donations to the refugees with the Bullog team and other volunteers.Шаблон:Cn

On January 9, 2009, Bullog.cn was shut down again, reportedly due to claims by the Chinese government that it hosted "harmful comments on current affairs".[3] A successor site, bullogger.com, is now hosted overseas.[4]
