About bbci.co.uk and the Great Firewall

Is bbci.co.uk blocked in mainland China?

Every URL under bbci.co.uk that we can reach a verdict on — 28 of them — is blocked in mainland China. The site itself, https://bbci.co.uk, is blocked. The Great Firewall poisons its DNS, silently drops its packets so requests time out and resets the connection. 601 tests have been run under this domain since 2014-10-16, the most recent on 2026-08-08.

How can I reach bbci.co.uk from mainland China?

A VPN or another circumvention tool routes the request outside mainland China, past the filtering that blocks bbci.co.uk. 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.
