I see.
"No open proxies" (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/No_open_proxies) is a "Meta"-policy, which means that it applies to all Wikipedias and Wikimedia projects. Fortunately, the admins on the Chinese Wikipedia do not enforce this Meta-policy.
This Meta-policy discriminates against the Chinese (and those in countries where Wikipedia is censored/blocked by the government) and should be abolished.

Hi,
It only applies to en.wp. They can use TOR and open proxies to edit zh.wp and zh.wn. I have several friends in China do that every day.
Best regards, Ted (Hsiang-Tai)

Ted, no, they can't edit Wikipedia through TOR. Wikipedia does not allow editing through TOR and other open proxies. That's why Baidu Baike is flourishing.

They
do not use any IRC network because IRC is not popular amount Chinese
people.
If there is somewhere useful we could direct Chinese wiki contributors in a downtime, please add it in to the translations there :)
