This post is from our coverage of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing China, curated by John Kennedy and sponsored by Reuters. · All posts
Many websites, such as Radio free Asia, have been unblocked in China during Olympics, however, Liu Xiaoyuan pointed out that many local blog posts are still blocked. The unblocking is selective deal to political pressure, while blocking is still set as default policy. Citizen media such as inmediahk.net in Hong Kong is still blocked.
