Chinese media, advertising, and urban life.

Most of Wikipedia was unblocked in April this year but the Chinese language sections of the website were not accessible.

The Chinese language version is also accessible in Beijing now. Perhaps this is part of the Olympic polishing project, or just the Net Nanny's nap time. Whatever the cause, it's good news.

Blogspot has also been accessible for most of the time since April.

Below is a chronology of recent blockings and unblockings of Wikipedia and Blogspot:
