Is the PRC monitoring this blog?

So, ... not to sound too conspiratorial or anything, but after I blogged about the two new films spotlighting Taiwan and its struggle with Chinese intimidation, the traffic to this blog plummeted by 90%.

So, perhaps I should have titled this: "Is the PRC blocking access to this blog?"

I mean, I have to be honest in that when I was writing the blog post about the film Invisible Nation and the new Netflix series Zero Day Attack, I did pause for a moment wondering if posting about Taiwan and two films that the PRC definitely does not like could possibly affect my blog traffic. 

While my traffic fluctuates a lot, and this is not a widely read blog by any stretch, the numbers had been quite good the past couple months. And it's not news to anyone that the PRC's digital surveillance program and bots are vast. 

But, I figured, ... come on. A Teacher's View is a small teacher's blog, and news of the Taiwan films is already out there. 

And, yet ... traffic is way down.
