As Chinese Internet users are complaining about increased curbs, Chinese authorities announced they would be restoring online access and lift a ban on text messages and international calls in Xinjiang.
The move comes months after deadly ethnic unrest prompted a communications shutdown.
AFP quoted the official Xinhua news agency, which cited the regional government saying it had restored access to part of the wire’s Web site as well as parts of the Web site of the state-run People’s Daily newspaper.
“And according to relevant circumstances, (the government) will gradually restore access to other Web sites and Internet services, and open up mobile text messages and international long-distance phone services,” the report said.
