China lifts iTunes block but for Tibet album

However, the Web page for downloading a pro-Tibet album, which is
suspected of prompting the crackdown, remains unavailable on the
service.

Chinese users started having problems logging in to iTunes last week,
immediately raising suspicions that the Beijing government was trying
to censor "Songs for Tibet," an album released by the Art of Peace
Foundation, an organization that supports Tibetan independence. The
album features songs by Sting, Dave Matthews and Alanis Morissette,
along with a 15-minute speech by the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan leader in
exile.

Well, this is mostly for foreigners going to China. Most Chinese would
probably not yet be able to afford the cost of hosting their own server
at a colocation facility outside of China.
