As, I said by allowing Chinese Wikipedians (who are probably just kids who aren't aware of what exactly their government does to "dissidents") will do them more harm than good. You wouldn't be breaking any laws, you would just be getting some Chinese teenager shot for being a "traitor". America tried to bring democracy to Iraq and only succeeded in instigating a civil war.Americans were not put on this planet for the express purpose of preserving democracy-why don't you give it a rest for a while?
There are good reasons why this list is dedicated to improving the English Wikipedia. Rather than the world situation in general.
The main purpose of Wikipedia can be defined as a (new) kind of publishing, namely putting high quality and informative and neutral, factual articles into the public domain, under the GFDL. That is what we do. This is not propaganda. If it is difficult for people to read them online, there are other ways they can be distributed, such as on a CD-ROM. It is essentially pointless for governments to try to prevent people having some sort of access to Wikipedia, short of running the country on the lines of North Korea.
I suggest we get back to editing, so that if people have extra difficulty in accessing the English Wikipedia, for any reason, it will be all the more worth reading in the end.
