Wikipedia has been unblocked in China after being banned more than a year. The subdomain zh.wikipedia.org that contains the Chinese language version of Wikipedia is again fully accessible to users.

Before beeing banned in late 2005, Wikipedia was gaining popularity in China, a nation which has strict laws in place on Internet use. The Chinese government gave users access to the English version of Wikipedia almost a month ago. Even with the site once again being allowed, keyword filters blocking specific events such as the Falun Gong movement and Tinanmen Square massacre will remain in place on Wikipedia.
