New York Times definitely not blocked in BeijingPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn on Thursday, April 13, 2006 at 12:18 AM
The New York Times website is working perfectly, as tested from four different Internet connections in the capital this evening. Perhaps it is a Passover gift to the Jews of Beijing. Hach Sameach! However, it seems that the problem was nothing to do with a block, but rather related to the website's recent redesign. The home page is now 6 columns wide in some parts, and features video, different types of links, a bunch of different ad formats etc. |

Classic Danwei posts
+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas. + Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.

Comments on New York Times definitely not blocked in Beijing
Are you afraid you're becoming too quick to put the blame on China's net nanny? Some more patience may have been required in the case of both the alleged blocking of the New York Times and the shutdown of the Massage Milk blog.
Works perfectly from Tianjin too, and not being a Jew, I can't claim it as a Passover gift. And it didn't come in a chocolate egg-shaped form, so it's not an Easter gift either. Guess the NY Times is more available than some would have us believe.
I am based in BJ and can't acces the NY times...
