Mostly blocked
26 of the 27 URLs we have a verdict for under qz.com are blocked in mainland China; 1 are not. The site itself, https://qz.com, is blocked. The Great Firewall poisons its DNS, silently drops its packets so requests time out and blocks the connection outright. 909 tests have been run under this domain since 2012-10-26, the most recent on 2026-07-27.

26 of the 27 URLs we have a verdict for under qz.com are blocked in mainland China; 1 are not. The site itself, https://qz.com, is blocked. The Great Firewall poisons its DNS, silently drops its packets so requests time out and blocks the connection outright. 909 tests have been run under this domain since 2012-10-26, the most recent on 2026-07-27.
A VPN or another circumvention tool routes the request outside mainland China, past the filtering that blocks qz.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.
