I live in China and Btc-e has been unaccessible from two of my local internet connections.

Can only access btc-e using a vpn.

I wonder if this is because they offer RMB trading?

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Strange.  Never seemed to have any issues before.

China Telecom and China Mobile.  I live in Hangzhou, so I don't know if it is a local issue, however, since my first posting it has been confirmed by others in other parts of China.

Starting about Thursday 4pm China time, btc-e.com became unreachable from my apartment in Beijing (China Unicom) and office (also China Unicom). I too wondered if it was related to the introduction of CNY trading and the May 10 deadline.

This site is not accurate. It reports many sites as inaccessible though I have been able to access them for a long time.
