The Chinese Wikipedia has been blocked in mainland China since May 2015.[2] Despite the block, it is still one of the ten most active language versions of Wikipedia (and it has the eighth-highest number of active users as of August 2021) due to contributions from users from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia, and the large Chinese diaspora.
Taiwan and Hong Kong contribute most of the page views of the Chinese Wikipedia.[3]
