China’s Ministry of Public Security has been blocking www.gaychinese.net since April 11, says site manager Damien Lu.
The site, which is run from Los Angeles, was attracting an average of 58,000 visitors a day, mostly from mainland China, Lu said.
It does not contain political or sexually explicit content, and several similar sites based in China remain accessible.
‘We have no content that violates the Chinese government’s rules,’ Lu told the Agence France-Presse wire service.
Public-security officials were not available for comment.
