Where free speech seems to be adorned and the internet living is also affected in China, it seems the internet browsing is totally snugged out in China. In popular China places like Beijing and Shanghai, people are trying out ways to access blocked websites. Though China has pretty much everything of there own, i.e – there own local Social networking to Search engine and instant messenger!
But if you want to access blocked China websites and want to get around the filters for specifically accessing twitter, then here are a few tips and ideas to help you out.
Accessing Blocked Websites in China
Make use of proxy – Proxy websites are popular, though some of the Chinese proxies are blocked but you can always make use of updated proxy list and get a VPN connection through proxy (Works for every blocked site) that allows you to access the webpage anonymously.
Switch to OpenDns - Head over to Open dns website and configure your DNS to the described value that will help you in accessing sites quickly.
Twitter alternative – Though twitter.com web interface is blocked, you can try out itweet and other tweeting clients online for accessing blocked twitter in china and also around the world.
And if you know any ways for accessing blocked sites then do let me know via comments.

@Old Man Dotes – Whoa..
First of all thank you for the comment. Well, I haven’t played World of Warcraft games or visited the channel (Gold farmer is related to that?)
And I agree there are a lot of Spams messages in unidentified text which I believe is originated from China.. but hey, every Country has spammers around. I guess Nigeria outranks China when it comes to Spamming issue
There emails look like spam because we don’t understand Chinese
j/k..
Appreciated your comment.. Have a nice day.
Actually, as someone who is not in China and has no willing contact with anyone in China (I simply don’t know anyone there), I’d like to have all Chinese Internet space blocked from contacting me. I get lots of email from China – and every single bit of it is phishing spam. I know of a number of people whose World of Warcraft accounts have been stolen by Chinese gold farmers; and there is constant spam in chat channels in World of Warcraft, again, from Chinese gold farmers.
So if the *outbound* traffic from China were to be blocked, I would have no reason to contact the Red Army to report Falun Gong affiliation by the gold farmers. You do know that the Chinese gold farmers who are making money from World of Warcraft are using it to fund the Falun Gong, don’t you?
obvious u dont know chinese at all as a chinese i think
