China 'bans BBC Chinese website'
Found on BBC News on Monday, 15 December 2008
China appears to have banned a number of foreign websites, including the BBC's Chinese language news site and Voice of America in Chinese.
The sites had been unblocked after journalists attending the Beijing Olympics complained that the government was censoring sites deemed sensitive.
More censorship and increased internal security are expected in 2009, our correspondent adds.
I wonder if people really believed that China would open up because of the games. To them, it was nothing much more than a chance to show off.
