China blocks access to Bloomberg sites

Append https to the BBC article to read it behind the GFW. The https hack sometimes works when the government is blocking content on individual cites vs. complete sites.

I think they have cracked some parts of https. If you make a prior to a non blocked page in https and then go to a block page sometimes it works. If you make your first https connection to a block page it is blocked. Maybe this is due to the way https works. I haven't looked into it.

Google uses https and they still managed to monitor all the traffic and block keywords.

There is a good reason why it is stated change your passwords before you come to China and after you leave.

interesting.. It works with HTTPS, but the certificate is not the original BBC one.

Just notice that too. If I get some time next week I'll look into it.
