YouTube, BBC News Accessible in China
SHANGHAI--After one week with the tap turned off, YouTube is accessible again in China. Also, to my great joy, BBC News is now available for the first time in my two years here. Free blogging sites like Blogspot and Wordpress remain inaccessible except via proxy.
The only question is, "For how long?"
If the lid stays closed on any pre-Olympics politicization, I'd continue to expect a loosening of the firewall. If flare-ups continue in sensitive areas (e.g., Tibet), all bets are off.
