Categories: East Asia, China, Hong Kong (China), Freedom of Speech, Human Rights, Olympics

Many websites, such as Radio free Asia, have been unblocked in China during Olympics, however, Liu Xiaoyuan pointed out that many local blog posts are still blocked [1]. The unblocking is selective deal to political pressure, while blocking is still set as default policy. Citizen media such as inmediahk.net [2] in Hong Kong is still blocked.
