Censorship in China

Censorship in China refers to the government’s control over information, including media, the internet, and public discourse. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) restricts access to certain foreign websites, blocks social media platforms, and closely monitors online content to protect its authority and maintain social harmony. Topics like political dissent, historical events like the Tiananmen Square protests, and criticism of the government are often censored. This extensive regulation is part of a broader strategy to shape public opinion, promote state narratives, and prevent challenges to the party's power.
