China has relaxed their censorship of two Taiwanese newspapers:
China has allowed access to Internet versions of two of Taiwan's top daily newspapers after blocking them for years for fear they would spread anti-Communist propaganda, a Taiwan official said on Monday.
Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council said that users in the populous Pearl River Delta and other parts of China over the past two weeks had accessed previously blocked Web sites run by the China Times (news.chinatimes.com) and the United Daily News (http://udn.com/NEWS/)
A search of the sites in Beijing found the United Daily was accessible but the China Times was still blocked.
A welcome sign of course but still a long long way to go before China can be said to have anything resembling free speech.
