why banning bitcointalk first time to hear from members below that bitcointalk banned in china is that true ? and why? Thank god that bitcointalk working fast in my county.
I don't worry about it. Friends and developers in China who belong to this community know it well how to visit websites that are banned there.
Do you have any source about this one? It's sad if this is true, and what may be the reason?
I have never seen a ban for bitcointalk in any country,
Even if there may be a specific reason for the ban, what causes the ban?
one reason may be a state security issue.

China is not an open market for everybody, they have a lot pride of making their own. Maybe they have their own forum circulating in their country made them ignore bitcointalk.org
Well, that's china for you...always doing messed up things. Maybe they have their own forum for bitcoin or are scared that unnecessary information to spread because of this forum.
I'm not surprised that bitcointalk can be banned in China. Many popular foreign websites banned there, even giants like Facebook, Twitter, Youtube. China want to control censore internet. And it also applies to bitcointalk.
I am sure it's only in North Korea and China there are only those 2 places on earth that are banning human rights.
Also, not only bitcointalk but i have heard that every social media website and other stuff related to sharing about north Korea are also banned.
You are completely wrong. Mostly civilised countries are doing same thing, only smaller scale. They are blocking illegal websites - torrents, porn an etc.
And I saw that Turkey ofter blocking social networks for short periods.
P.S. sometimes I see that tourists posting photos from China on Facebook. Does anyone know how they bypass blocking?
I saw a post from reddit that bitcointalk is banned in China. Are there other countries that banned this famous bitcoin forum? Also, what are the reasons for banning it?

There is so much censorship appearing on the net at the moment. ISPs are starting to ban sites, and YouTube is demonetising some of its submitters. It's promoting the rise of sites like DTube, and a couple of social media networks are talking about launching satellites to bypass Governments and ISPs. I'm sure Bitcoin nodes would still work well over these satellite links.

North korea is known for being away from the modern world but I hope China will remove the ban. They will make a good effect on cryptomarket if they are also using btctalk.
Understandable that they banned it. It has a lot of links to free money on it.

I think if china bans bitcointalk it will be a bit difficult because bitcointalk is on the Internet and everyone is able to access Internet
If bitcointalk is banned in China someone will just be able to access using VPS/VPN or Proxy, and I'm sure there are some members in bitcointalk are from China.

I've not heard of this before. Can you give the link to the post? Maybe there will be mentioned a reason why they are banning this forum?
Not surprising considering China banns words like democracy and oppression. Without net neutrality this is what our internet would look like also. Hell, why not ban the word bitcoin? Ya know, to protect the children.
Exactly what you'd expect from China, a communist country with an extensive history of suppressing free thinking. But is this really true? Somehow I doubt it. And honestly it would cut down on spam, as would a bann of the Philippines and Vietnam. No offense, but it seems like shitposters are heavily represented by those areas.
Edit: I've been friends with both Filipinos and chinamen. Still wouldn't want natives from those countries posting garbage here because they can't speak the language.
Don't generalize Filipinos. English is not our mother tongue but it's considered as our 2nd language. And how would you know they from these 2 countries? There are lot of countries that can't speak English well. That's why good mods here created sub categories for each country.
Edit: You said Philippines and Vietnam then you mentioned China. Just to give you little idea, Vietnamese are not Chinese, gather your thoughts my friend.

I am not actually aware that China is a country development an ICO, why not that bitcointalk is banned. At my country that bitcointalk is many known to and verry development.
Then do China residents use proxy to access this website? It's weird to block a forum as this forum is not as famous as Facebook and other sites. Also, this site doesn't violate any laws that it should get banned in any country unless bitcoin is banned.

Connections to the Tor network are already blocked in China.
Looks like the government is now cracking down on VPNs as well.

still, there are some countries those are not interested in allowing Bitcoin as a legal currency, Like China and Bangladesh. it is really thought to understand their strategy about Bitcoin. so it is not a big deal for Bitcoin. in the future, all over the world Bitcoin will be legal currency. most important thing is that, though the country is not allowing it, the citizen of that country still transacting Bitcoin. so it doesn't make any sense regarding legalization.
China actually restricts access to a lot of sites including Facebook apparently:
