Telegram answered our probe, but measures as unreachable from mainland China.

Volunteers running OONI on Chinese networks recorded 515 anomalous results in 628 tests (82%) between 2026-06-01 and 2026-08-29.

Our own probe runs from one region outside China, so it cannot see this. If you are in China and it will not load, the service is most likely fine and the network in between is not.
