    Yeah i ran it through a proxy and its working in Germany. So i assume its in China. I don't think its the Chinese gov blocking the site since generally when they do it I can still see the page rank of a site. On a sidenote wikipedia is no longer blocked in China.

    False alarm then, they must have blocked my IP.. they're trying to kill me because of my black hat!

    --------------

    Ah guess they decided just to block parts of wikipedia, just did a search on some taboo words. Tianmen square worked fine, but when i clicked on the protest link it blocked me from wikipedia.

    Nah, probably has nothing to do with your IP.

    Have you tried sites like google.com/adsense or google.cn ?

    It is really random if google.com works in china or not. Sometimes it works at my office but not at my friends workplace, sometimes it works at his place but not at my place.

    Google is ok here kongmoon,
    It is normal thing Goolge cant open sometime.Not block site,but block words.
    Only the occasion you type a taboo word to search,Google will shut down for a while becasuse of the Great Fire Wall which able to check if the "bad word" is sent out for a query,then make Goolge down for a second,it will ok later or you can change your ip.
    I have heard that the tech is provided by cisco.

    Well.., here the mainpage can stop working also, without accessing google for that day or typing in a forbidden word.

    me and my chinese friends are having a problem with myspace at the moment that isn't a problem anywhere else in the world.
    signin in is all ok, but if you click on someone's profile it doesn't work, just goes to "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".
    you can, however, access it if you type in the address,
    eg www.myspace.com/username
    also, comments are doing the same thing, "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"

    any ideas?

    Many chinese people I know prefer google, I'm pretty sure google gives much better results then baidu. At least google doesnt allow you to purchase top rankings (and i'm not talking about the sponsored spots).

    To search english ,your are right,most chinese people definitely go to google.
    but in chinese search field,baidu is far over google.Usually the traffic from baidu is two times than from google.
    Also I think baidu do offer better result to user,I always find something in baidu while google can't
