The Practice of Differentiating Simplified Chinese Wikipedia and Traditional Chinese Wikipedia

September 29, 2007

Wikipedia.org has been banned for long in China Mainland. People are getting annoyed and irritated by the unaccessibleness to this infamous wiki site. It’s supposed to have a way out, they claim.
