Han Han, China's most popular blogger, is used to being asked how he pursues a double career as best-selling novelist and racing driver. "Driving is safer," he said in a recent interview with the FT. "If one day they tell me, you can't write any more', I can still make a living racing. Of course racing is safer than writing. At least it won't land you in jail."
But now, in the face of Google's threat to quit the country over China's unrelenting efforts to tighten censorship, Han Han might take such risks much more seriously.
