The server's operator, Netnod, has 'withdrawn route announcements' made by the server, according to company CEO Kurt Lindqvist."

Instead of Germany annexing countries to start a world war, we have China firewalling them? That'd just be an odd way to start a war... "Ha ha! Now you must go through our internet filter!"

Chillax, it's a firewall, not a deathray.
But it would be COOL if it were a death ray.
