  • The "godfather" of Chinese blogging (5:00)

The man credited with writing China's first recorded blog is in New Zealand.

Isaac Mao wrote his history-making blog on August 5, 2002 and is spending a week in New Zealand, speaking to journalists and students about the feat.

Mao told ONE News' Garth Bray about the importance of blogging in China.

"You can never get the whole story from mainstream media in China, because it is totally controlled," he says.

"That's a problem we want to solve."

Mao's work can be found on isaacmao.com.
