businessweek.com
Mostly blocked
15 of the 17 URLs we have a verdict for under businessweek.com are blocked in mainland China; 2 are not. The Great Firewall silently drops its packets so requests time out, resets the connection and blocks the connection outright. 976 tests have been run under this domain since 2011-10-15, the most recent on 2026-07-28.
The two are filtered by different means — an unencrypted request by the address and keywords it carries in the clear, an encrypted one by the server name in its TLS handshake — so one working while the other does not is normal.

15 of the 17 URLs we have a verdict for under businessweek.com are blocked in mainland China; 2 are not.

Plain HTTP and HTTPS differ here: http://businessweek.com is blocked, https://businessweek.com is intermittent. The two are filtered by different means — an unencrypted request by the address and keywords it carries in the clear, an encrypted one by the server name in its TLS handshake — so one working while the other does not is normal.
A VPN or another circumvention tool routes the request outside mainland China, past the filtering that blocks businessweek.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.
