md1101 Posted June 28, 2006 at 02:15 PM Report Posted June 28, 2006 at 02:15 PM Can you guys living in china check the bbc site. i was trying to tell my girlfriend it was blocked over the phone the other day so she checked it and could see it. when i was in china i never could. i got her to try the chinese version and that didnt work but its still a start if the english version is suddenly accessible.

roddy Posted June 28, 2006 at 02:58 PM Report Posted June 28, 2006 at 02:58 PM Chances are she went to www.bbc.co.uk, which has never been blocked, rather than news.bbc.co.uk, which always is. I've seen more than one 'BBC unblocked!' post over the years, but that's what it always is . . . Quote
md1101 Posted June 28, 2006 at 04:53 PM Author Report Posted June 28, 2006 at 04:53 PM fair enough. makes sense. she went to www.bbc.com. but i realise that main page works. but the news one doesn't. cheers Quote
md1101 Posted June 29, 2006 at 02:54 AM Author Report Posted June 29, 2006 at 02:54 AM on that note, are blogger blogs viewable in china? my girlfriend couldnt view either of two of mine. she could view the main page www.blogspot.com though. Quote
roddy Posted June 29, 2006 at 03:01 AM Report Posted June 29, 2006 at 03:01 AM Would those have blogspot in the address? They're blocked, if I remember correctly. Quote
Angelskates Posted July 1, 2006 at 02:14 PM Report Posted July 1, 2006 at 02:14 PM Freewebs is now also blocked...xanga is not. A few random forums I like are blocked, anonymouse will let me read them but not post Quote
liuzhou Posted August 2, 2006 at 05:39 AM Report Posted August 2, 2006 at 05:39 AM Blogspot is unblocked at the moment (at least, it is here in Guangxi). Don't know how long for. Quote
vertox Posted August 2, 2006 at 06:12 AM Report Posted August 2, 2006 at 06:12 AM http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk This link works fine for all the bbc news and sport content. Quote
Qcash3 Posted August 2, 2006 at 12:41 PM Report Posted August 2, 2006 at 12:41 PM Do proxys work in China? A friend recommended the proxy thruview, which supposedly will work when I am in China. Quote
liuzhou Posted August 3, 2006 at 10:52 AM Report Posted August 3, 2006 at 10:52 AM Do proxys work in China? Some do. Some don't. I don't know the one you refer to. Their website seems to be down. Generally it is not a good idea to openly mention which ones do work. They tend to disappear shortly after. Quote
