Hi all,

Has any one else noticed danwei en picasa are unblocked? Maybe facebook is next :-)? Would make a nice CNY present from the gov. Any other sites that were blocked before are accessible again?  Just fyi.

Picasa and Danwei are still blocked here in western China (and I think we live in the liberal end of the country.)  Chanelle - are you still accessing these sites (or doing it through a vpn).

Ahw sorry, I could really access them and was very surprised, hence the post.

For me they are still accessible.

Aww, chanelle! You had my hopes up for a moment there. I've been praying for my picasaweb photo album to be unblocked for months now, but I'm afraid it isn't. I don't get it though, how can it be unblocked in 南京 and still blocked in 广东？奇怪。

Anyway I discovered today that the Internet Movie Database seems to be accessible again. Halleluyah!

Hi chanelle77

I can access picasa, but not danwei and facebook, here in northeast China. I can't find any reason for Chiense authorities to loosen censorship, on the contrary, probably the situation will get worse. Spring has yet to come, or winter is nearing.
