Google Returns to China

knownsense writes "Wired News is reporting that Google's mysterious Chinese block is now off and users in China can now get to the search engine. Google was being redirected for a while within China and users within China were being redirected to no-name "China friendly" search engines."

It seems to be just general web blocking problems

I don't see what's so big about this -- it seems that for one reason or another, china's web censoring/blocking/filtering programs have a bug in it (like most web censoring/blocking/filtering programs) that lets people get in to Google if they do it a certain way. I don't think that it means that China is going to make a general change in their policy to allow people to visit Google... they'll probably just fix up whatever bug is letting people get to Google and then we'll be right back where we started.
