Earlier, the enforced ban was seen barring Internet users from viewing the Chinese version, also it affected pages for sensitive search terms such as Dalai Lama and the Tiananmen massacre, the report said.

The block has been in place since late April, Open Observatory of Network Interference (OONI), an internet censorship research group has revealed.

“We’re yet to receive any notice of the censorship,” the Wikimedia foundation said in a statement.

Sites already banned include, Google, Facebook and LinkedIn, this action has forced Internet users to use virtual private networks, or VPN, to bypass what has become known as the “Great Firewall” of China, Time.com said.
