I think it's the main flyertalk.com page - going into the forums miles/points, etc. seems to work fine. www.flyertalk.com/forums
Also this: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/announcement.php?a=340
I almost had to do some work instead of checking out FT

I have had trouble accessing FT from PEK in the last 2 days as well. Working on and off this morning...I initially thought the gov't had blocked it as well, hope that's not the case... the hotspot shield proxy didn't work as well.
Luckily I can still get email updates on my subscribed threads.
