Q: Random sites added to the "great firewall"?

Today I needed to use a VPN to access Shanghaiist.com. Have you noticed any other random sites that are inaccessible without using a VPN?

yes, this site too earlier..I am a simple man...  just do not get the "WHY" of why they do it. Where there is a will, there is a way. attempting to deny "WILL"  seems to me, to be counter productive.

Denying access to information just seems so silly, to me.

We are in a funny period of time at the moment.
You will find things will tighten up across the board in the near future.
I doubt it will be for ever but it will take time to move forward again.

Stiggs:

There is a big government meeting in October, the internet always gets near unusable just before one of them.

Censorship. Ours is always the 'truth', if you don't have evidence it's a lie.

Yup.

I am a fish fan. Keeping them and catching them. Even turtles.

If I bing ' goldfish forums UK', i get a stupid amount of 'no internet connection' messages when I click.

Stiggs:

Those evil forums, where people express opinions...

 

Don't you know mate? You can't be allowed to have an opinion unless you've spent your life in a system that removes your ability to form your own opinion. Then you'll be issued an opinion and given access to a forum where the other half billion users all share the same opinion as you so that you won't feel lonely.

 

It's for your own protection, if you're exposed to the wrong opinion then your feelings will be hurt, and maybe you will feel sad and won't be able to study.

maybe China doesn't want people to see which of their published academic papers have been rescinded/retracted due to falsified results, plaragised content and falsified peer reviews.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
