The BBC website is currently unreachable, just wondering if there is a news story they don't want us to see.

North K missile test is the only thing that might apply, at first glance.

The Great Firewall of China occasionally seems to be randomly triggered when you are inside it.

There is an article about UK cyber attacks from Russia and elsewhere recently. That seems more likely.

Sorry, I didn't make that clear in the OP did I?  ::-)

Currently in Lanzhou airport waiting for a flight to Urumqi. My first time to Xin Jiang and looking forward to it as it's my favourite Chinese cuisine.

Must have been a temporary blip because it's back now.

Lots of security in Urumqi, even had to put luggage through a scanner to go into the hotel. The irony is that I bet the pollution has killed thousands more people here than terrorism.
