Fellow Japan residents: Is CNN being DDOSed?

I have been unable to access CNN.COM from here in Japan since early this morning and I just saw this on CNET Asia:

Denial of Service attack on CNN by Chinese hackers

I'm getting the exact same PING results as the author in China and I see one reply to that post from someone else in Japan with no access as well. I do seem to be able to intermittently access with Firefox but it is very hit or miss and one page at a time.

Friends back in the states and in Europe seem to have no problems accessing. Is this a Chinese DDOS? Are any of you also unable to access?

It's starting to tick me off whatever it is. 😡
 
I was unable to access CNN all day yesterday, but I just checked and it opened right up. That really sucks if China was blocking it. 😡
 
Someone needs to wake up to Communist China. We seem eager to forget that one lil key word in front of China. These people arent Free and are ruled by a small elite. Guess thats better then having a king but not by much.

And we aren't (Free and ruled by a small elite, that is)?

Oops... off this goes to the political forum!
 
Probably nothing, if this is payback for some indiscretion they already did against China, or the Olympic Games.
