Wikipedia Chinese version unblockedPosted by Banyue, July 3, 2008 5:01 PM
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: Wikipedia and Blogspot unblockdd April 1, 2008 |

Books on China
 Diamond Hill by Feng Chi-shun: Feng's memoir Diamond Hill describes an era of gambling and gangsters, Suzie Wong and squatter villages, fires and food stalls, and the Kowloon Walled City and its white powder. "A time when people were poor, but life was rich," he says. The world that he grew up in no longer exists, but his book - the first ever on the Diamond Hill refugee settlement, in either Chinese or English - offers a candid picture of what life was like for most Hong Kong residents in the 1950s.
William A. Callahan's China: The Pessoptimist Nation: China: The Pessoptimist Nation shows how the heart of Chinese foreign policy is not a security dilemma, but an identity dilemma. Through a careful analysis of how Chinese people understand their new place in the world, the book charts how Chinese identity emerges through the interplay of positive and negative feelings in a dynamic that intertwines China's domestic and international politics.
The WTO ruling: a half victory at best: In August 2009, a World Trade Organization panel ruled against China's system of monopoly control over entertainment products. Was this the victory supporters hailed as the dawn of a new day for American and global entertainment companies in the China market?

Comments on Wikipedia Chinese version unblocked
I assume that Chinese articles about "sensitive" topics are blocked with an ol' connection reset error, as with the English Wikipedia.
It's still blocked here.
In Nanjing, it was still blocked
Shanghai CNC business connection, Chinese Wikipedia, Firefox:
Connection Interrupted
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.
i am happy too to hear this unblocked. so, the Chinese people will have a chance to learn more.
It's working here (in Beijing)! I'm looking at the screen and I can't believe it! My precious Wikipedia in Chinese without having to use a proxy! It's a miracle! Will it last more than a week? Impossible to tell in these times of troubled Olympics. 以奥运为主, as the folks around here keep on saying.
Does it mean that Beijing is becoming a haven of freedom, in the middle of our beloved feudal China?
In these troubled times, more than ever, we can only have a thought for our dear (foreign) friends who were forced to go back to their place of "permanent residence" (no matter how many years/decades they've been spending in China and where they consider to be their actual "permanent residence").
May you rest in peace (in your remote countries) where you are to stay (at least until the end of the Olympics), beloved friends and families. We miss you and think about you everyday.
Still blocked here.
Wuhan, CNC.
It's still blocked here.Facebook(IP:69.63.176.140) and SourceForge are also blocked too.
Guangzhou,China Telecom.
Just as this text spotted, it's a good news to Chinese people as a sign of prosessing freedom.
