"China Telecom issues a notice that for the forthcoming Communist Party 18th Party Congress, telecom and mobile's international portal will have gateway function regulation," said the post, which was quickly censored. "All clients of telecoms and mobile will not be able to access international websites normally during the time. The affected lines include servers in many foreign regions, such as the United States, the UK, Korea, Europe, Hong Kong and Taiwan. The regulation may last from three to 24 hours."
