Tax Prof Ann Murphy (Gonzaga), in China on a Fulbright Scholarship, reports that the government has decided to block all access to TaxProf Blog:
I had hoped it would not happen, but the Chinese government has decided to block your [blog]. I am so bummed!! I’m hoping it’s a temporary thing. I still get your emails, but can’t access the site. They block a lot of blogs, so I’m actually surprised it’s taken this long to happen.

Update: Jack Balkin notes that some other law prof blogs (e.g., Althouse, Balkinization, Chicago Faculty Blog, Conglomerate, and Leiter Law School reports) are also banned in China, but that others (e.g., Becker-Posner, BlackProf, Business Associations, Concurring Opinions, Election Law, Feminist Law Professors, How Appealing, InstaPundit, Lessig, Mirror of Justice, PrawfsBlawg, SCOTUSBlog, and Volokh Conspiracy) are not.
