About appledaily.com and the Great Firewall

Is appledaily.com blocked in mainland China?

Every URL under appledaily.com that we can reach a verdict on — 15 of them — is blocked in mainland China. The site itself, https://appledaily.com, is blocked.

How can I reach appledaily.com from mainland China?

A VPN or another circumvention tool routes the request outside mainland China, past the filtering that blocks appledaily.com. GreatFire runs GreatFire VPN; the Analyzer also tests the domains of many VPN and proxy providers, so you can check whether one is reachable before relying on it.
