"Wikipedia joins a growing list of websites that cannot be accessed in China, which in recent years has tightened its grip on access to information online.

Says China: “The truth is what we say it is.”
China has implemented the Ministry of Truth 100%. Here it’s only 25%.

You’re saying Wiki is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

“Says China: “The truth is what we say it is.”
So do the Democrats. What a coinkydink.
Thank goodness the Chinese dictators are throttling their citizens. Chinese people are Asians. Asians are smart.
If it were not for their government keeping them down, they’d own us.
This is how you deal with “hate” language and hurt feelings, ban everything. Facebook and Twitter execs should be applauding this move.
Everyone I know here has a vpn. I still use Wikipedia in my teaching.
