AFAIK, the software [1] they may use, does not block Wikipedia yet. I think
it follows the same policy as the national firewall. Wikimedia Projects seem
to enjoy 'special treatment' in China since Jimbo met the deputy director of
the State Council Information Office of PRC, Cai Mingzhao last year. I
believe that meeting helped wikipedia to survive during these sensitive
dates.
