HONG KONG — A prominent student leader from the 1989 pro-democracy protests at Beijing's Tiananmen Square says he's arrived in the Chinese gambling enclave of Macau to turn himself in.

Wu'er Kaixi told The Associated Press by phone Wednesday that immigration officials at Macau's airport took him to a room after he arrived from Taipei. He was not immediately told if he will be allowed to enter the territory.

Wu'er escaped from China after the government's military crackdown on the 1989 protests and now lives in exile in the self-ruled island of Taiwan.

Wu'er said separately in a statement issued by a friend that he wants to turn himself in to the Chinese government so he can see his family and believes he did nothing wrong.

Beijing turned up the volume on the "Great Firewall of China" Tuesday, blocking nearly a dozen Western Web sites and search engines.

Thursday is the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, and as a foretaste, Chinese users were denied access to Blogger, Flickr, Twitter, Livejournal, Tumblr, the Huffington Post and Microsoft's Live.com, Hotmail, its MSN Space blog tool and its new search engine Bing, according to various reports.

"Looks like Twitter has been GFWed in China," tweeted Mimi Xu, or @MissXu, a Hong Kong-based tech entrepreneur who noticed she wasn't getting responses from mainland friends, using the common Twitter acronym for "Great Firewall of China."

The block of YouTube, which began in March after Tibetan activists posted clips, according to London's Guardian newspaper, continued.

"The 3 web services I cant live without — Twitter, Flickr, YouTube — are all blocked in China," tweeted Stephen Lin, a Chinese blogger who tweets as @flypig.

Some third-party Twitter desktop clients were working, letting users get around the block, but others were down.

"This is so frustrating. Now I feel China is exactly the same as Iran," wrote one financial professional in Shanghai, according to Reuters.

A State Department spokesman declined to chastise the Chinese government for any crackdown on Internet access or other attempts to control coverage of this week's events.
