[ga] Chinese Version of Wikinews Blocked In China

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

  Seems that perhaps language centric websites even in China
are not being taken with much enthusiasm, at least not in China.

See:

Wikinews that says "access to
http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Chinese_version_of_Wikinews_gets_blocked_in_China
the Chinese Wikinews website has been blocked in China. Wikinews can
also confirm that the English version of the website is still available
in China. ...
Users using the social networking site called Twitter have reported that
the
site was "blockade[ed] today by the mainland" of China. Others, writing
on
the Wikimedia Foundation's mailing list also state that the Chinese
version of Wikinews is blocked in major Chinese cities such as Beijing.
