Did China Telecom block Feedburner RSS Feeds?
Global Voices Advocacy, a network of bloggers and on-line activists fighting against censorship cites a report that said people using China Telecom have been unable to access and read their Feedburner feeds[Source]. According to Global Voices Advocacy, The Moon-Blog discovered the block:
Moon-Blog, who has done a traceroute from China to check the block, found that the traceroute failed at the backbone level in China, blocked by 202.97.33.110 IP. “This IP address is a main router of China Telcom. It’s confirm that the Greate FireWall’s IP blocking works,” he said, adding that “because Feedburner provides content from countless websites. It could conceivably carry some information the Chinese authorities think it shouldn’t. So they try to blocks it.” [Source]

No word yet from Feedburner nor China Telecom about the matter.
