Chinese internet censorship

Chinese internet censorship involves government efforts to monitor, restrict, and control online content to maintain social stability and political control. This is achieved through filtering tools, legal regulations, and surveillance that block access to certain websites, social media platforms, and information deemed harmful or sensitive. Key features include the Great Firewall, which limits international site access, and the suppression of topics related to political dissent, human rights, and censorship criticism. While enabling a controlled digital environment, it also shapes the flow of information, impacting freedom of expression and access to diverse perspectives within China.
