China is blocking Wikipedia in every language, reports the Tor Project, expanding its censorship to cover editions other than Chinese.

measurements show that many of these Wikipedia domains were previously accessible, but all measurements collected from 25th April 2019 onwards present the same DNS anomalies for all Wikipedia sub-domains. The few DNS anomalies that occurred in previous months were false positives, whereas the DNS anomalies from April 2019 onwards show that Wikipedia domains are blocked by means of DNS injection. Most measurements were collected from China Telecom (AS4134).

Wikipedia, of course, blocks edits from VPNs.
