Q: SCMP - blocked for you?
I just tried to get into the HongKong based South China Morning Post site.. but my connection's been reset :(
Is this just me and my connection, or everyone's?
What is this saying about BJ's interests in HK, and how they want things perceived by those on the mainland??

If you allow me to quote myself :
"As for mainland news: only scarce reports, obviously presenting a one sided opinion claiming the occupation is "illegal and hurting the law" are discreetly placed on home pages. Comments are full blown propaganda of the utmost fake trend.
No pictures or video. Or buried deep down."
I'm too lazy to turn off my Internets to check if the intranets filters through SCMP, but anyway:
- Anything outside of the authorized intranet is slow as shit anyway.
- Surely they won't allow people to see that 1- the proportion is muuuch huger than what they say and 2- the people are quite pacific and the police aggressive.
Even if it's not really useful since no one reads English in mainland anyway. Not even the wumao they sent out.
I could never get on SCMP without a VPN, I thought it had always been blocked
Quite the opposite. I seem to enjoy full access without their paywall saying I only have a few views left. But this is using VPN of course.
I used to be able to get access to SCMP without a VPN but that was before the Hong Kong protests started. It seems Beijing can't allow any reasonably unbiased news about Hong Kong to reach people on the mainland.
