China has lifted the ban on its citizens viewing the English language version
of Wikipedia.
The state's internet censorship software, the so-called 'Great Firewall of
China', is now allowing the site to be viewed, but with limits.
Topics such as 'Tibet' and 'Tiananmen Square massacre' are still being
blocked from view, according to Reuters.
The opening up may be linked to the forthcoming Olympics, as the
International Olympic Committee has apparently specified that blocking the
internet "would reflect very poorly" on the host country.
China routinely blocks many internet sites and tried to block
all
online video sites that were not state owned, but backed down after protests
from Google and others.
