Guardian media is reporting this morning that the BBC website is no longer being firewalled by the Chinese authorities.
The Chinese government has never officially confirmed that it blocked traffic to the site, but for years web users in China have been served an error message when attempting to access the BBC and other western news sites.
But
the Chinese-language site still appears to be blocked. Users are served a page that says "the connection has been reset" when attempting to access pages, giving the appearance of a technical error with the BBC's site.
The piece also notes that Guardian editor Alan Rushbridger wrote to the Chinese ambassador in London complaining of
"an act of deliberate and wholly unacceptable censorship".
