Google mirror beats Great Firewall of China

China’s widely criticised blocking of the web’s most popular search
engine Google can be defeated by viewing a strange Google mirror
site through a mirror, NEW SCIENTIST has discovered.

The mirror site, called elgooG, is a parody of Google in which all
the text on the web pages has been reversed. The site, which returns
all the same hits as Google, can be accessed from behind China's
"great firewall".
