from Slate's news digest:
The WP reports on Chinese access to Wikipedia, the
collaboratively written online encyclopedia that
allows anyone to edit any entries. The Chinese
government has now blocked access to the site,
despite the broadening appeal of its
Chinese-language edition. The problem, the WP
speculates, is that the site threatened the
Communist Party's control of information, allowing
people to meet or plan without the party's approval.
