China’s more libre portal, NetEase, is known to the masses as 163.com, and some of us know it more as a portal that dares to go the extra mile. The portal is more libre and open in comparison to its more harmonious “big brother”, Sina.

(By the way, GFW stands for the Great Firewall. You know — it’s that thing that won’t allow you to access — oh heck — even I Can Haz Cheeseburger or the Scobleizer in China…)

So the question is: will they harmonize NetEase?

Given that it’s involved in Guangzhou 2010?… we think no… and that the more libre NetEase will live to fight another day. Its microblog service may not have an iPhone app out yet, but it’s still an open-ish forum.
