Technorati Blocked in China?

I wouldn’t call myself technologically savvy, but I am a member of Technorati.  Yea, I signed up after I started doing some blogging.  And now, since I subscribe to google alerts via email, I’ve been getting a lot of emails about my published works being noted on other blogs through Technorati but I can’t go to the site because apparently China blocks it!  Dude, kinda pissed.  What’s up with China?  Everybody tells me Shanghai is so “modern” and “hi tech”.  I came accross this post published a couple of years about it: http://www.tomrafteryit.net/china-blocks-technorati/ Anyone have any tips as to how to get Technorati to work here?  Kind regards.
