Not even close to accurate. Not at all. Wikimedia has been trying to get China to allow a stripped down version of wikipedia in china for close to a decade now. It would be hosted in china and stripped of all political content deemed inappropriate by the CCP, still no.
- est 4y agoChina does require physical servers in China to operate user-generated-content websites and need staff oncall to censor content 24x7. I don't think wikimedia can do any of that. Yes it's a stupid totalitarian law but there's that.
- 20after4 4y agoChina already operate a mirror of wikipedia content, minus anything they decided to censor. As far as I could tell they have a reverse proxy that fetches, censors and serves wikipedia inside the great firewall.
