This bug is about the problem of HTTPS for languages of China (where HTTPS is blocked). I suggest not to discuss political implications here (and discuss it on the wikimedia-l mailing list) but only technical things. The bug/problem is largely known but I don’t think there is an open bug for that, so this is the case now; probably the resolution can be INVALID or WONTFIX because it is due to external factors, but it will serve to concentrate the discussion. This bug is related to bug 52846 about a similar problem in Iran, and resolution/discussions can be different although related.
According to https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:HTTPS&oldid=5733512#List_of_Chinese_Wikipedia the list of Wikimedia projects whose languages are spoken in China is: * Standard Chinese (zh) * Classical Chinese (lzh) * Wuu Chinese (wuu) * Gan Chinese (gan) * Hakka Chinese (hak) * Cantonese (yue / zh-yue.wikipedia.org) * Tibetan (bo) * Minnan Chinese(nan / zh-min-nan.wikipedia.org) * Mindong Chinese (cdo) * Uyghur (ug)
Can somebody tell me how this work and the what is the possible resolution?
these language may lose its native speaker if Https is used.

You forgot to describe "the bug" or bring up any "technical things" in your initial comment. Also see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug The discussion really will not profit from yet another place to discuss, besides already existing wikitech-l mailing list and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:HTTPS especially as the situation in China has always been part of the discussion from the very beginning (in contrast to Iran which was brought up in bug 52846).
> Can somebody tell me how this work and the what is the possible resolution? jingchaoye: Please discuss in the thread on wikitech-l@ mailing list or https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:HTTPS and be more specific about "this". Let's not triplicate everything that was already written and said here.
