BBC Website ‘Unblocked In China’

From BBC News:

People in China are reportedly able to access stories on the BBC News website in full, after years of strict control by the Beijing government.

Dubbed the great firewall of China, the Communist government routinely blocks foreign news sites such as the BBC.

But BBC staff working in China now say they are able to access news stories that would have been blocked before.

• The BBC is full of fake news. They dont like China, N Korea,Cuba,Venezuela,Iran, Sirya. They love Nigeria, Pakistan,Saudi Arabia,Kiwait,Qatar and other unsavioury characters. Iraq and the mayhem they have created, an illegal war is nit mentioned anymore, neither they bother aboout the refugees from Iraq,(2 millions,1 million dead). Makes you wonder what the intentions are in Tibet. I support the Tibetean people but with the help of USA/UK the poor Tiber willbe converted into a USA military base ready for a war with China and more mayhem.
