The third edition of the Chinese Encyclopaedia will be "the nation's first digital book of 'everything,'" featuring 300,000 entries of about 1,000 words each, according to the South China Morning Post, which reported the news on Sunday.
Wikipedia has a long history of partial and sometimes full blocks in China. Currently, the SCMP reports that most of the Chinese-language Wikipedia is available in mainland China, but searching for articles on sensitive topics, such as the Dalai Lama, will lead to a lost connection.
The results will probably be as accurate as the local copy inside North Korea.
