While Silicon Valley VCs like Bessmer Venture Partners, granite Global Ventures, Mobius Venture Capital, and Softbank�s Asia Infrastructure Fund invested $10 million in the Chinese blog portal, Bokee, the government still maintains a tight restrictive policy on required registrations and that all blogs should remain under state control.
I have recently identified some excellent Chinese finance bloggers through Wayne Wong. These selected sites are only in Chinese.
For those who are fluent in Chinese, go to this VC blog or go to IDG's Gao Xiang.Wayne Wong thinks that Softbank is no longer interested in funding Chinese blogs. Nevertheless, Bokee is finding ways to monetize their bloggers. Last month, it reached an agreement with 99Bill to provide a secure and convenient online payment platform to serve blog users.
For an excellent finance and economics blog, there�s Wang Zhengpeng. Also, Mr. Zhangliang has interesting financial blog.
Finally, for those of us only reading English, go to Venture Capital Resource link for an excellent short list of VC blogs, hopefully CVN will be added soon to this august list.

I could not see the reason why frankly-speaking Chinese bloggers are banned to say their insights on the country's economy? Is it not blogging supposed to be personnal and true to the point-of-view of the author?

To Liam: I very much agree on your point. That is why there is blogging in the first place---it is a way to separate itself from the notion that the traditional media is scrupulous and dishonest. Why forbid bloggers of such right?
