Wow that sounds big.

Not as big as my -- oh, forget it.

So either the Chinese are not as smart as I'd thought, or the media is much lazier than I'd thought. They're getting the same level of coverage now for "unblocking" the Chinese-language Wikipedia as they got for unblocking the English one, which was considerable. Even though this should be a much smaller story, as far as the Western press is concerned.

I'm not sure they even understand the difference, to be honest! mad.gif
