Luckily, I have the advantage of certain methods to be unblocked.

How about all of you?

Issue for you, or don't care?

China is ramping up the blocking / censorship for some reason.

Getting unbearable for some of my friends.

You will figure it out.

www.veetle.com has the BBC, CNN, Fox and other news stations at times.

It's a bit choppy at times but usually pretty good.

BBC and CNN blocked in Beijing since lunchtime Thursday. As of this moment in time (Thursday, 23.55 hrs) Sky News is still available.

Something to do with a certain prize being given in N o r w ay on Friday I suspect.

Much ado about nothing. The offending story on the BBC website is available half way down the page of this link:
