DragonFire1024 writes "Wikinews — Wikinews has learned that access to the Chinese Wikinews website has been blocked in China. Wikinews can also confirm that the English version of the website is still available in China.
Users using the social networking site called Twitter have reported that the site was "blockade[ed] today by the mainland" of China. Others, writing on the Wikimedia Foundation's mailing list also state that the Chinese version of Wikinews is blocked in major Chinese cities such as Beijing.
The reason for the blockade is not yet known. Wikinews contacted the Chinese government for a statement, but so far there has been no reply.
The Chinese government has an active policy of blocking websites they consider harmful." Link to Original Source
