Well, there's always Tor, I2P, etc. for free (as in speech) information, should anyone care to host a Wikipedia mirror on an eepsite, hidden service, etc.

So, how long will this Chinese censorship racket last? Are there people-level plans to protest? With governments everywhere blocking half the internet, and Google and Yahoo and Microsoft helping them do it, in 10 years, will anywhere outside of Europe and the US have uncensored 'net? And will people care, at all?

Oh boy here in India we don't have such problem;' c'mon Wikipedia is not that bad and it is a very good source of info.

Chinese censors are certainly welcome to revise Wikipedia entries to levels of accuracy and objectivity more suitable to Chinese readers. Why don't they try that instead? Snicker snicker...

Re my comment above: "apologies to anyone who can't cope with that word out there, I've discovered we Londoners are a bit more free and easy with that word than many" Sorry for my poor writing skills, just downed a rather large Belvdere and tonic, and watched one and a half episodes of The OC, which I have discovered is a combination good enough to send me into a fit of semi-literate ranting...

Cunts. There is no other word for them (apologies to anyone who can't cope with that word out there, I've discovered we Londoners are a bit more free and easy with that word than many). I've got to ask myself what happens next? What am I going to link too? Where's my first point of call for information on just about everything? And Shanghaiist, are you safe? You might be small, but this is a site for free and open discussion, and that is the one thing that the powers that be can't deal with.

The same here in Beijing. It worked a couple of days ago. But has wikipedia been blocked and unblocked on and off for a while...
