On my very recent long stay in China, I was again deeply shocked by how much of the Internet/Web is heavily censored/inaccessible in China!
What are the communists afraid of or what do they have to hide?
E.g. all my favorite news websites like Walls Street Journal, BBC and many others were not accessible to me on any device when living in central China.
Of course, I had a VPN installed on my laptop before the trip to China, but due to some error of mine I happened to accidentally uninstall it.
They say history repeats/rhymes!
Here is an article that also covers this subject: When is the Internet Not the Internet? "China’s intranet is so separated from the global Internet that it is more accurately described as a national intranet." Caveat: I did not read the entire article.
