Re: China blocks access to Bloomberg sites
#2The block was first put into effect some time the night of the 27th-28th[1]. It was then lifted, so it may have been a test. The story was published at 3:32am EST / 7:32am UTC on Friday the 29th and the block was put into place soon afterwards.

It'd be curious to know if they also blocked Bloomberg Professional. I'd venture they didn't, given that that would block important information from the financial (gov't) elites.

They did not. Their firewall blocks Internet access to the websites only.

#5Their censors are very busy bees. Eventually a tipping point will be reached, and with 1.x billion people I predict "interesting times."

#6I am in China right now. I just tried to Google Bloomberg and my connection was stopped.
I can not connect to bloomberg.com. I can not read this BBC article.
Reply here and I'll test whatever you want me to.

#7The BBC is dumbing down, that stock photo caption "Some Chinese web users try to find a way round the restrictions" is staggeringly inane.

Has some irony to it, they are playing a game on the picture.

The Great Firewall messes with more connections than just websites. They are definitely are doing something to SSH connections. Every time I ssh to my server it gets bombed with faulty requests. (This was discussed on hacker news before.) They actually seemed to have slowed down this practice recently.
The world is much more tolerant of China as they don't have a hidden agenda like Russia had. Their only agenda is the economic advancement of China and the stability of it's government.

I can personally attest that bloomberg is inaccessible from China Telecom at least in my region.
