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

i'm not so sure anymore
