I have yet to hear anyone provide first-hand confirmation that access to Freenode's IRC servers is explicitly blocked by the mainland Chinese government. There has been a lot of speculation that the usual draconian corporate firewall policies (surprise, the rest of the World gets to struggle with those too, it's not just a problem in China) are blocking a variety of messaging protocols from workplace networks and the people who encounter this can't tell the difference because they're already accustomed to much of their other communications being blocked at the border. I too have heard from someone who's heard from someone that "IRC can't be used in China" but the concrete reasons why continue to be missing from these discussions. -- Jeremy Stanley
