Wikipedia

I had read that China had blocked access to Wikipedia, and that seems to be the case. Many of my posts have links to Wikipedia for background info. I can post to this blog two ways--either through VPN or not. I prefer to use VPN (virtual private network), because then the Blogger.com screens come up in English. If I don't use VPN, they come up in Chinese. I would use VPN all the time, except that I get dropped a lot. (It's better here in Beijing than in Harbin.) When I use VPN, I can get to Wikipedia. When I don't use VPN, I cannot get to Wikipedia.
