Chinese version Wikipedia is blocked in China, but how can 30 Chinese administrators still be able to manage the site from China?

May 13, 2007

Wikipedia’s Chinese version is blocked by the Chinese government, however, 30 Chinese who are working directly inside China are able to get on this government blocked site, and manage it as “volunteers.”

That just makes everyone wonder, how can those “brave” people dare to challenge their own government’s action? why are they so “defiant?” At the same time, the rest of over one billion Chinese are blocked from using that site? mmm.

There are six people working directly from Beijing, the capital city-. Chinese government constantly blocks and closes web sites. Doesn’t it make you wonder? How come those people working right inside the government’s capital? Wikipedia is already blocked, why can’t those 30 Chinese working freely as if the government’s block doesn’t exist?

If they can bypass the government’s block so easily, why do the rest of the over 1 billion Chinese have problems of connecting to wikipedia? Ask yourself, if you are working for a site that is blocked by your own government, would you be worried? And don’t you think that police maybe listening to your conversations on the phone, checking your internet activity online?

If someone is able to get to wikipedia so easily everyday, won’t the Chinese government itself get suspicious? And maybe even send a police or two to check out who that guy is? chinese government has a very tight control over the internet. It is not news any more that chinese government have put someone in jail simply because what they wrote on a web site.

why do those 30 people have the priviledges of getting connected to wikipedia? Wikipedia people certainly know who those 30 people are. Why can’t wikipedia ask those 30 people to share their “secrets” on getting connected to wikipedia, so millions and millions of Chinese can get wikipedia freely. Why doesn’t wikipedia do that?

This just doesn’t make sense, they have 30 Chinese managing a site that billions of Chinese can’t read, what is the whole purpose of doing that? The only conclusion is that those 30 people must be working for the chinese government, or at least, they have been informed by the government to write only good things about the chinese government on wikipedia.

Then when you go read the Chinese wikipedia on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Wikipedia

It is entirely written by those Chinese administrators themselves. And how can the wikipedia calls itself neutral?!

When people try to add the truth to that article, they are immediately blocked by wikipedia Obsessive-compulsive disorder administrators.

Those OCD patients even delete people’s comments on discussion page.

wikipedia simply can’t handle the truth, they don’t want people to know the truth, either. No one can trust wikipedia at all.


Chinese language Wikipedia is infiltrated by government agents

February 1, 2007

The Chinese language wikipedia is banned by the Chinese government, those billions of Chinese in China can not get connected to that site at all. However, the Chinese language wikipedia has six people working directly from Chinese capital city – Beijing, and there are total of 29 of sysops/administrators woking from China. According to Howard W. French of New York Times:”on sensitive questions of China’s modern history or on hot-button issues, the Chinese version diverges so dramatically from its English counterpart that it sometimes reads as if it were approved by the censors themselves.” [http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/11/29/news/wiki.php]

Those Chinese sysops/admistrators can not only freely edit the Chinese language wikipedia, they can even have meetings publicly despite the fact that Chinese government already banned that site.
