As of July 7, we’ve been notified by readers that What’s on Weibo is no longer accessible from within mainland China. After some testing, we have discovered that our site has indeed been blocked from all locations in the PRC now.
This is unfortunate for the many readers we have from mainland China. What’s on Weibo has been blocked before in late 2015, after which it was opened again in the summer of 2016. It is unsure if the current block is temporary and if the site will be accessible in China in the future again.
Too bad, What's on Weibo has been blocked in China, after the piece about online memes https://t.co/TNO9vBv1fe
