Wikipedia started being blocked when I lived in Beijing in 2005. I'd be surprised if it isn't still blocked.

- seanmcdirmid 9y agoIt wasn’t blocked in 2007 when I moved to Beijing nor in 2016 when I left. There were times when it was blocked, but not for very long. Wikimedia was blocked a bit more, it still sporadic.
- coupdejarnac 9y agoInteresting. I assume you were viewing Wikipedia on something other than a laowai corporate network. I'm pretty sure I've had wikipedia blocked the other times I've been back to China, but I don't remember any more. I suppose the conventional wisdom is that the government doesn't want to spend as much effort to suppress information for the cosmopolitan, educated class.
