#23Right on time since I'm going there for Christmas holidays. I used to use HotspotShield as a VPN when I was in Beijing but that was 5 years ago, anyone knows a good VPN right now?
Living in China - Astrill, they have a variety of different protocols and endpoints, some working better than others on any given day.

#24taiwan.gov.tw just causes an error message. Not sure if that means it's blocked, or the site doesn't like the address

I actually want it to be blocked in China.

#27wikipedia.org was unreachable in Shanghai one week ago whether blocked or not. Wikipedia is incredibly useful, I can understand blocking individual articles (as they do in Saudi Arabia, for example) but not the site as a whole.

#29It says google.com isn't blocked: http://www.blockedinchina.net/?siteurl=google.com
Actually, google is blocked sometimes, including .com, .cn, .hk. If you search some sensitive words, google will be blocked for a period of time.

#30http://www.websitepulse.com/help/testtools.china-test.html seems to be a much better resource. The latency for successful requests is usually pretty high, and blockedinchina.net returns too quickly for me to think it's accurate.
