China Unblocks Wikipedia

"Even though the information on the site is still scarce, Editor & Publisher is already publishing the scoop: Apparently, Wikipedia has been unblocked in China. From the article: 'Wikipedia reported on its site that it had received word from multiple users in the country on Chinese-forums.com that the site had been restored.'"

Wow didnt know they block Wikipedia in the first place. Was it really all over a article about the Tienneman Square massacre?

 

China is a conservative country... I would never live there even if I'd learn Chinese...

 

I think Google is still limited too. It said on the news a while back that democracy doesnt return any results in China.

But they all still come here on holiday, surely the people will learn from that!?

I wonder if they can wiki this page?
Internet censorship in the People's Republic of China - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Well they had a month of Wiki fun anyway.....

Slashdot | China Reinstates Wikipedia Ban

 

I don't know whether it is the capitalist propaganda, or something else causing this view, but I wouldn't feel safe being a capitalist mixed economy supporter in China.

 

exactly, at any given time the government could take away your business no question asked, man, even though that would be mass chaos, so i don't think that will happen but yeah even still its unsettling.

 

Err -- sorry, I'm slightly unsure if I'm understanding you correctly. Are you saying you wouldn't feel safe (if you lived in China) if you were a person who is in favor of capitalist mixed economy? Is that right?

Why not? That's exactly the economy they have there so I would think it would be perfectly safe for people to express their agreement with a system already established.

 

I expressed it badly, sorry. Although we are capitalist in the UK, we have government restrictions on a lot of things, so we are also a mixed economy. But you would agree that our government and economy is very different to China's wouldn't you? While true China is a mixed economy, their communist ideology pushes it far onto the left. We are both mixed economies, but we are far more capitalist, and so there lies the difference IMO.

 

Ah. Yes, I see.
