forbes.com and the Great Firewall
Is forbes.com blocked in mainland China?
Every URL under forbes.com that we can reach a verdict on — 53 of them — is blocked in mainland China. The site itself, https://forbes.com, is blocked. The Great Firewall poisons its DNS, silently drops its packets so requests time out and breaks its TLS handshake. 1,659 tests have been run under this domain since 2011-03-17, the most recent on 2026-07-26.
How can I reach forbes.com from mainland China?
A VPN or another circumvention tool routes the request outside mainland China, past the filtering that blocks forbes.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.
Elsewhere on the site
forbes.com is ranked #199 among the world's most-visited domains (Tranco).
