Students and professors in China are up in arms over their government's latest attempt to regulate Internet use -- by banning access to Wikipedia, the popular open-source encyclopedia. The Web site, which includes more than 170,000 Chinese-language entries, has been widely used by the nation's researchers. But Chinese authorities have now blocked Wikipedia on three separate occasions, apparently because the encyclopedia features articles about banned topics like the Taiwanese and Tibetan independence movements.
