As reported by the International Business Times, China has blocked Wikipedia in "full" - and it is not the first time. Chinese version of the site has been blocked, but now all versions of Wikipedia are blocked in China.
China has made a practice of blocking the site and off over ten years, as part of its censorship of the Internet sweep called the Great Firewall. This most recent blockage may be the result of Wikipedia to change its "default HTTP protocol to HTTPS, which made it harder for great Chinese firewall to filter specific pages and information." As it is now more difficult to select specific pages to filter, blocking the site became "all or nothing". and the government has decided to block everything.
