Google has responded to China's block, but I can't read the story because it's on BBC, which is also blocked. I should check [ap.org,...] which is not blocked. From there, randomly choose a city and state and you can read the newsfeed on the wire. That always works.

In the meantime, here are three sites that you can access from China. They are identical to Google, except that the first is a mirror image that just looks incredibly cool. Based on the premise, no doubt, that the word Google eventually leads to a block.

[google.cm.nu...]
[google.icq.com...]

Cheers!
