them today before I post my mail, but unable to access them. For some
reason, wiki is forbiddon here. I really coouldnot find the best answer and
have discussed
i am shocked. i just checked with one of my 25 chinese students here and
indeed even universities in china do not have access to a basic site such as
wikipedia. the "some reason" of course being that china is still a
totalitarian communist state where the government deems it necessary to
control what information its citizens can and cannot access. in this year of
the olympics shouldn't the scientific community put some pressure on the
chinese government, e.g. through an appeal in nature or science? ccp4 care to
take the initiative?
i'm supposed to teach in a course in beijing this spring but if my innocent
web-based practicals cannot be used to their full extent i'm not so sure
anymore
