  I don't believe it is? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_GitHub#Blockage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_GitHub#Blockage Says the block was lifted in 2013?

    There is a long history of why it's blocked. Some repos were hosting essential code to bypass the Great Firewall. Others were spreading tools to advocates of Free Tibet and Uyghurs. And, there are some software devs who were promoting and supporting workers rights/strikes in the context of 996 scandal. GitHub wasn't freely accessible or access to its services were disturbed during my college years ('12-'16). Any information platform that evades the PRC control system gets blocked once it achieves major attention and onboards influential users.

      Gotta protect the public from this sort of dangerous activity: https://github.com/xi-yu-yan-kai-fa/xi-winnie-rainbow-fart https://github.com/xi-yu-yan-kai-fa/xi-winnie-rainbow-fart

    That's my mistake, I should have included a source. But the fact remains, it is blocked: http://www.chinafirewalltest.com/?siteurl=github.com http://www.chinafirewalltest.com/?siteurl=github.com.
