China disconnected ALL internet access from the world

All the Chinese websites are not acessible right now (weibo.com, renren.com) and when I did get on weibo a few minutes ago after trying so many times, they were talking about how none of the international websites are accessible from the U.S. The funniest thing is that Weibo.com tries to give me a error page in chinese saying that my internet connection is disrupted. [Image: https://edisonwang.sqsp.com/blog/uhp2hhr24rr3pc7ugpam3rvc9lb... ]--->it's the same message you get on Internet Explorer when you cannot access an website because of DNS issue. People on weibo were suggesting that the Chinese government is deploying a new firewall.

[Update: some sites are coming back.]

Shameless plug: my post (earlier than this one) with more details http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3830901

Any more info? I'm not familiar with the system but were incoming requests failing too (accessing Chinese servers)?

Not related: I was wondering why the link had Cooper in it, and then I noticed your name and remembered seeing it on the Cooper homepage recently. (former Arch student)

it's hit or miss, but its mostly disconnected - i am posting this from beijing

They are back.
