Readers in Shenzhen have emailed to say that NYTimes.com is being blocked. In Beijing it was functioning, although very slowly, and it wasn’t clear if the problem was related to the redesign of Grey Lady’s website or caused by something else.
But today, it is behaving exactly like websites that are blocked.
Please leave comments if you have any information about this, or email jeremy @ danwei.org if the comments system still doesn’t work.
Why Nanny, why?
UPDATE: Email reports from readers in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing, Urumqi and Shenyang indicate that there is defintely a problem accessing the site. However individual article pages seem to be fine, it’s the home page that is not working. Some are saying it’s definitely a block, some are saying that it is related to the website’s redesign.
