Saying that they still CANNOT access Amnesty International's website sounds more logical and intelligent than saying they NEED to access the Amnesty Internation website from inside China but they can't. I don't think the blockage of these websites is exactly new and little known news.

I think the bigger issue is whether attempts to access this information (even through someone in a western country forwarding the information) forms a circumvention of the law and is thus prosecutable. Can a journalist in China be arrested or disciplined for receiving Amnesty International content via an email and incorporating it into a news report? Does the threat of that go beyond censoring their own media and become censorship of international media?
