Although its news division is being blocked, Thomson Reuters Corp.’s financial information and data services are still available to its clients in China.
Reuters isn’t the only foreign news organization being kept out by China’s Great Firewall. The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Bloomberg News were targeted by censors after they ran stories critical of the Chinese regime or its officials.
Epoch Times English and Chinese language websites are also inaccessible to readers on the mainland.
News websites aren’t the only Internet services being blocked in China. Popular social media websites Facebook and Twitter are unavailable to mainland users, while Instagram was briefly blocked following the pro-democracy Occupy protests in Hong Kong last year.
Internet users also cannot get Gmail, Google’s email service, since December 2014.
