Picture: What China censors online

I know that most people can get to BBC, Wiki etc. That doesn't mean that some parts of these sites aren't censored.

For example, you can't get to the Chinese language part of the BBC News.

You will also notice that if you try and open up certain pages on Wiki, you suddenly get a blank page.

Oh, and why isn't Taiwan on the map??

:-P

More than half the websites are accessible today... but what you guys failed to miss was the "Data from 2008" at the bottom.

Sorry, but most of these were also unblocked in 2008.

No wonder Chinese people get pissed at media coverage from the West...

Did you even read this before posting it? It's just plain wrong. Good job.

worldofwarcraft is blocked??

..omitted the word video there :(

I'll tell you what IS getting censored now.

Evans, my better half, uploaded that 'What Google will look like' to her Kaixin account. She thought it was well funny.

Twenty mins later she checked back to see if friend's had commented ... gone!

Yeah, I wave the BS flag on the above as well. I can get on the CNN, BBC, ESPN, NYT and Washington Post websites.

This list is definitely a fallacy.

I access Economist.com, Wikipedia.org, lemonde.fr and nytimes almost on a daily basis and haven't had a problem I can remember of for the last 3 years.

Where does the list come from anyway. I think we'd better check the source!

One of the blocked sites is whitehouse.com (not .gov), which is a porn site. There are also a lot of duplicates in there.

I find myself forced to question the accuracy of this graph.

Sohu.com a blocked website? english.gov.cn, the official English homepage of the PRC government? Yahoo.cn?

Sure, some of these might be blocked. But having entries such as those on the list completely undermines any credibility this source might have.
