So a Daily Mirror expert now. Journous from the Mirror probably know as much if not less than we do. That's really scraping the bottom of the news barrel.

Increased anti-foreigner sentiment?
some Africans in Guangzhou seem to be getting a hard time, being kicked out of their homes and not allowed into hotels or restaurants. www.cnn.com/[...] Hope the same doesn't happen here. Personally as a white European, I have not yet been turned away from anywhere because of my race, and people have generally been just as polite and welcoming (or not) as usual.
There's a long history of problems in the African community in Guangzhou.
Being bared from hotels is not a new thing. CNN is often behind in reporting what they call "Breaking News".
This has been going on for years and years. Youtube has many videos on the problem the African community in Guangzhou have been facing. I think now it's more serious.
FYI-Wikipedia is blocked. :-).
I have absolutely no problem accessing Wikipedia in the same manner you are able to access YouTube video.
Never said YOU had problems accessing Wikipedia. Others however do. So if your intention is to post a link where people can't access it to view it...
Wikipedia and YouTube blocked for me for years - as is google.
Strangely - translate.google is accessible.
Those who can, know they can. Those who can't know they can't. Most of us are old hands and know which we are. Having to post everytime with caveats may be helpful to a tiny few newbies, not many newbies this year. Jumping on people who don't is pointless.
Google translate is so familiar for foreign tourists coming to China, that blocking it together with other Google products would mean even more foreigners lost here - which, on the topic, would feed more anti-foreigner sentiment.
I don't know how Google's translate service operates technically in China (for example does it communicate with Google's ecosystem elsewhere, or does it censor translate results), but it wouldn't have been a tough sell for Chinese authorities to give it any necessary exception.
