liuzhou Posted November 25, 2004 at 01:55 PM Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 at 01:55 PM Is it just me down here in Guangxi, or has anyone else on the mainland had trouble doing Google news searches? I haven't been able to get in for three days now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studentyoung Posted November 27, 2004 at 02:00 AM Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 at 02:00 AM Dear Liuzhou, Sorry to tell you that not only you in Guangxi have trouble in getting on Google to search news, but also people, like me, in Guuangzhou do have the similiar problem in these days. I can get on Google, but it costs me a lot of time. Though I don't know what's wrong in Guangxi, I only see that sometimes for some reasons the government will use some IT technology to shut down some web site from oversea. I think all you can do is to be patient and wait for a while. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevelyan Posted November 27, 2004 at 10:46 AM Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 at 10:46 AM I've had the same troubles here in Beijing. Sometimes the request fails outright, sometimes I get redirected to the Chinese version of the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liuzhou Posted December 1, 2004 at 11:07 PM Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 at 11:07 PM A site blocked in China commenting on a site blocked in China. It isn't blocked either! Iam looking at it now! And I'm not using anything fancy to get round blocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chappie Posted December 17, 2004 at 10:34 PM Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 at 10:34 PM Just a small note... I can visit altavista.com in china. Only through DIAL-UP. When you used broadband it would be blocked then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
