China Daily  

进入英语学习论坛下载音频 去听写专区一展身手 Authorities in Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region have restored partial access to 27 Internet sites, including the China Daily website, that had been blocked following last July's deadly riot in the regional capital of Urumqi. "We chose the 27 websites because all of them are very practical and popular in China," a spokesperson of the regional government, told China Daily yesterday. To prevent further unrest after last year's July 5 riot in Urumqi, which left 197 dead and 1,700 injured, the government blocked access to the Internet and suspended international calls and text message services in the region 24 hours after the riot, because they were believed to be vital tools used to instigate the incident. However the spokesperson told China Daily yesterday that the regional government is considering increasing the daily allowance for the number of text messages that a mobile user could send because "many people are complaining that 20 messages a day won't be enough to send Spring Festival greetings to relatives and friends".
