"...or a deliberate attempt at trying to perpetuate the belief inside China that there IS no official censorship and it's all just "trouble contacting some sites".
Isn't that the official response to the outside world by China when asked about the 'Great Firewall'? This would probably make more sense than any other explanation. When the PRC lifted the ban, I would assume that they knew about the content of the site and where it comes from before lifting the ban in the first place. Just common sense.
I am having a heckuva time finding any other instances where information/Wiki sites have been banned, lifted, then banned again. Doing this could be nothing more than an attempt at getting large firms to set up base in the PRC.

If you were as allergic to tobacco as he is, the last place on earth you want to be frequenting is a rave.
