You'll remember a few weeks ago I provided a New York Times story on internet gaming farms in China where you, as a gamer, could hire a Chinese farmer to do all the dirty work in your tournaments.
It would be a little ironic if the reverse could be done as well.

Seeing as you can download the entire wikipedia if you like, just put up your version with a non-blocked url.
If China wants to change the architecture to only allow specific pages and disallow everythigg else, perhaps set up their own proxy and only allow their country to access that proxy, then that really removes a lot of the benefit if the internet.
If traffic shaping, packet sniffing, and backdoors are built into all encryptions then maybe there is a chance for a government to stop all billion of their people from accessing something they don't want them to access, but I get the feeling it is like trying to hold onto mud. The tighter you squeeze, the more seeps between your fingers.
