Youtube accessible again – now has ‘country preferences’

Update 3 (2009.03.30):

March 30 Monday morning at 8am, Youtube is not loading in Beijing, but is is not returning the ‘connection reset’ message typical of most blocks.


Blocked since March 24, Youtube became accessible in Beijing again this afternoon.

Update:

From comments to this post and the previous one about the block, it seems that Youtube is still not working in Shanghai although it is accessible in nearby Nanjing.

Update 2:

Youtube now asks you to set up a country preference when you access it, directing Chinese IP addresses to a Chinese language page.

When using proxy servers abroad, Youtube directed my browser to the country in which the proxy server was located.
