27 Aug 08 iTunes Back Online in China
A few days ago, Chinese officials tampered with the Internet, or at least the legal chunk of available Internet in China, and banned any iTunes access. This came as a response to various athletes downloading via iTunes the “Songs for Tibet” album during the recently finished Summer Olympics.
Well, fellow Chinese readers, if there are any, you’ll be happy to know that the great iTunes ban has been lifted. Chinese people can access it freely now. By freely we mean of course that they won’t be able to get the “Songs for Tibet” album. And there’s not point going to Amazon or YouTube. You won’t find it there either.
That means you will have to circle around the great firewall of China to get any of those songs. Or have your friends send them via email.

I hate to say this, but I just checked and the iTunes Store is still banned in China. I tried to turn on the Genius playlist, and stupidly, selected China, even though my account is with a US credit card. So now, no Genius, no iTunes store. Desparately trying to find a way to fix this, so that I can access my account again. Any tips?
