  It seems http://www.wordpress.com is banned in China. Hence no blogs hosted in wordpress.com will not accessible in China.

  Look at the list of websites that are blocked in china http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_websites_blocked_in_the_People%27s_Republic_of_China

  China has been known to block WordPress.com blogs, and there is nothing that we can do about this. As a workaround, you can try using a VPN or proxy to access the blog. The following links provide some options that you may be able to explore and/or use:
  https://www.intl-alliance.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_119
  https://www.torproject.org/

  We have also heard that some users have had luck simply by using Opera Turbo:

  I really hope this helps and you’ll find a way for your readers to access your blog!
