The internet situation in China 2017
The internet is highly censored in China through the use of the so-called “Great Firewall” web filter. Most Chinese netizens are unaffected by this internet censorship as the vast majority of blocked websites are non-Chinese in content and language. However, foreigners, expats, and travellers residing within China are often left stranded behind the firewall, unable to access most commonly used apps and websites such as Google and Facebook.
Update October 2017:
Recently there has been a noticeable upsurge in censorship in China. Whatsapp, the popular encrypted messaging app, was recently blocked in China. Furthermore, bans on VPN apps and the move by Apple to remove all VPN apps from its China App Store has seen the internet censorship situation in China deteriorating even further.
