Lately, many websites that used to be blocked due to the the Great Firewall of China are working. Wikipedia being my favorite blocked website has been unblocked for some time. Blogger and Blogspot have been working on and off. I read in a blog post in Technology Review that more websites will become unblocked as the Beijing Olympics draws near. Perhaps China is really opening up and providing access to information and knowledge? Or is this a tactic by the government to depict a false appearance of the state of censorship in this country?
I dare not say or make such bold claim on this blog. I’m quite happy now that I have access to Wikipedia. I can’t complain too much.
