中国解禁 维基百科再度登陆
维基百科中文版超过十万条目
网上百科全书“维基百科”在被中国当局封杀一年多后,周四(16日)终于可以重新进入中国大陆,总部设在巴黎的无国界记者组织对此表示欢迎。
中文版的维基百科的主页,现在能够在中国大陆的互联网上显示出来;现在要搜寻讯息,只要输入的词汇与政治无关,搜寻结果也会出现。
不过,一些敏感的词汇,被中国当局视为禁忌的,例如“六四”天安门事件,仍然受到封杀。
中国当局一直以来都对网站进行审查,只要它认为有关网站的内容怂恿颠覆中共政权或不利政府的都会被封杀。
目前还不清楚在去年10月被封杀的维基百科网站为何在中国大陆获得解禁。
立场坚定
中国外交部女发言人说,她没有听说过有关的维基百科的报道。不过,她却补充说,中国支持互联网在中国的发展,目前中国有1.23亿网民,成为全球第二大的互联网国家。
外交部发言人姜瑜周四在例行记者会上说:“ 我们依法对互联网进行管理,这也是世界各国通行的做法。”
人权组织一再指责西方互联网公司为了进入中国市场,而对中国的审查屈膝。
无国界记者组织表示,维基百科的创办人吉米·威尔斯面对中国当局的强权,采取耐心等待的策略,这个例子显示如果一家外国公司立场坚定,北京当局到最终也会让步。
该组织指出,“中国政府很务实,不希望中国互联网没有外国公司参与,因此美国公司与中国仍有谈判余地。”

China in the house that Jimmy built
November 17, 2006 by Alfred Romann
Jimmy Wales built it and they came… eventually.
Wales founded Wikipedia – for those who live under an information rock www.wikipedia.com is “the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit” – and refused to remove articles on controversial subjects in China like the Tiananmen Square events in 1989. The big American internet companies like Yahoo, Google and Microsoft all compromised and self-censored content to get into the market.
Wales stood firm.
Granted, the stakes for Wikipedia are less. The site is run by a non-profit organization that has the luxury of being able to shrug its shoulders at China’s rules. Profit-driven companies – particularly those with shareholders – can’t do that.
The Chinese government has denied censoring the internet but Wikipedia, among other sites, have often been impossible to access. A little more than a year ago, authorities began putting blocks to Wikipedia. These blocks were spotty and some people in some places had some access but generally residents of China could not get on.
Last month, the English version was reportedly unblocked and Chinese users reported access last week. Although some articles in Chinese – Wikipedia has more than 100,000 Chinese articles, the New York Times reported – on sensitive subjects like high-level politics were reportedly still blocked.
“The community in mainland China is basically telling us that they’re able to access,” Wales told the Boston Globe.
Sources to the paper theorized that maybe the officials figure Wikipedia’s modus operandi would allow them to present their spin.
Maybe. Hopefully. That’s what openness is all about.

The great thing is:
Chinese Wikipedia will be much more enhanced, the items and
the contents.
I expect it to be the same level as English.
