China has begun to expand Internet access in western China's Xinjiang autonomous region after cutting service because of deadly rioting over the summer, state-run media reported.
The region's Internet users, who have had limited access to regional government, banking, entertainment and gaming Web sites since August, can now visit xinhuanet.com, a state-run news service, and people.com.cn, the online newspaper of the nation's Communist Party, according to China Daily. Both sites carry domestic and international news.
Though Xinjiang residents can browse stories on the sites, they cannot post forum comments or use e-mail, China Daily reported.
Under the restrictions, some Xinjiang residents have traveled to neighboring Gansu province to more fully surf the Web, China Daily reported.
