China Unblocks the BBC (In English)

Posted by kdawson on from the firewall-what-firewall-i-don't-see-any-firewall dept.

An anonymous reader writes in with news that China has unblocked the BBC Web site — the English-language version at any rate. No announcement was made, because China has never acknowledged blocking the BBC for the last decade. The Chinese-language version of the site has been blocked since its inception in 1999. The article speculates that the easing of censorship may be tied to the upcoming Olympic Games.

    Oh NO!
