aber wieso genau werden seiten wie apple.com geblockt? es muss doch irgendwas durchs internet noch zugänglich sein…heißt das, sobald ich in china mit meinem server bin, kann ich so gut wie nichts mehr machen?

Why would gov.cn be censored? Isn’t that the country’s official government site for their citizens to access and learn?

Although some facts are wrong (such as the 163.com thing) the last time this page was updated was 2009. so unless I’m a year off, right now it’s 2010. so some of these pages like wikipedia, amazon, eBay and addicting games, in fact loads have now been uncensored or never been blocked in the first place.
The reason pages have been blocked is because several sites contain images and information of protests to do with relationships between Tibet and China (Tibet wants to be freed from China) and other such protests. It is to help prevent outrages, riots and violent protests happening in and out of China, so that China can deal with it’s own problems without having to deal with the rest of the world.
I myself believe that blocking sites like YouTube, Twitter and Facebook isn’t wrong or right, although Facebook and Twitter are sources of social life and connecting with friends, and YouTube is a well-known source of entertainment. I understand that blocking a lot of these sites can prevent violence and maintain peace, and without having many problems. If I put myself into the Governments position, I would do the same thing. Blocking specific videos of Tibetan captives being beaten by Chinese police are hard to block off YouTube, as 24 HOURS of video are uploaded every minute. And the same goes with trying to block pages and groups off Facebook and tweets off Twitter.
So if you’ve ever wondered why these pages have been censored, the reasons above are the answer. (A 13 year old nerd just wrote this and that’s why it says so much about facebook and Twitter)

this is not correct
in fact this is almost pure fantasy, especially Wikipedia which even have Chinese articles
the most ridiculous one is http://www.163.com/
it’s a Chinese news website and many Chinese people have an email finishing by @163.com

for f**k’s sake learn to read people:
“censored websites are either inaccessible or have contentious pages blocked”

Half of those are not true – I can see quite a few websites in there that I’ve not had any trouble accessing when I was in China.

[That's censorship working. Individual pages or entire sections of sites are often blocked - David]

Ok, I have to say that this picture is extremely inaccurate. Secondly it is a lazy one as it contains so few words that it starts right after half – way through repeating the same sites. At no point 163.com has been blocked. Nor the swedish sites in the list. Nor espn.com nor and nor and so on. Worthless, cute idea, but worthless.
