I don't want to let this stand without comment. What is your source for the fact that China "blocks much of wikipedia"?
I was under the impression that certain subject matters were blocked as a matter of course. Can http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falun_Gong or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiananmen_Square_protests_of_1989 be accessed?
Incidentally the following is a perfect example of an image used under Fair Use provision : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Tianasquare.jpg I think wikipedia would be much worse without it.
Yes, even the Chinese version of these articles is accessible. In fact, most of the contents in these articles are contributed by Chinese mainlanders. It is a strange misperception that the Chinese government is blocking Wikipedia. Most contributers in Chinese Wikipedia are living in mainland China presently.
