what i meant to say is. at least the english site is still accessible, which is odd (i mis-read the subject line) because the latter site has quite a bit more anti-PRC content. weird...

Indeed there is a bit more stuff there in en.wikinews, but blocking the Chinese site only is the usual way they do.
As we know, all wikimedia sites used to be completely blocked in mainland China since 2005 (temporary blocking started in 2004). When they started to unblock the wikimedia sites in 2006, they unblocked all the non-Chinese sites first and later some Chinese projects, such as Chinese Wikitionary. The Chinese Wikipedia is only unblocked in 2008 due to the international pressure before the Olympics, yet the content of the site is still censored and some sensitive keywords will trigger a temporary IP block lasting approx. 1~2 minutes.

Nah, reviewing my one edit to en.wikinews would probably earn you a lifetime ban if you are in the PRC. Let me know if it loads. :P http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/CharlotteWebb
