few servers to the global internet and. because all traffic has to go through these servers the chinese government is able to block certain content in china foreign websites are mostly inaccessible when the content the scene is not conforming to chinese government regulations their ip addresses are simply blocked that applies to google the most you search engine in the world as well as the user administered online encyclopedia we could p.d.f. and even less websites. chinese online services are usually censored before they even reach the public show chang is familiar with this phenomenon is a human rights activist and editor in chief of the china digital times the advantage of those chinese companies are the promise of the government they harbor compasses to censor and control on line contents so they will not they will listen

a politically quiet place. it's still commercially very vibrant culturally still full of activities innovations. in the last of its political action intense of a lens has all but politically silenced china's internet but the government is not satisfied with just blocking and filtering out on one of the pinions it also keeps looking for new ways to use technology to its advantage the communist party of china has its own and it's been especially successful. digital politics the communist party of china keeps citizens in line with the little red app in the beginning of 2019 she jungle which means as much as study to make the nation strong was the most downloaded app in china even more than we chat and do you mean. the propaganda tool spreads the views of the general secretary of the communist party she. uses must register with

. and rights watch analyzed the program on its surface most of this information looks like standard fare for police but as we dig deeper into the are we can see that ordinary routine we will behavior is being treated by authorities as suspect the data gathered citizens is shockingly comprehensive includes information ranging from religious affiliations and driver's licenses to employment records and even gathers data on residential energy consumption movement patterns filmed by the ever present surveillance cameras if something appears out of the ordinary consequences can be devastating for example it's helped single out detain approximately 1000000 people from the week are minority. recent studies show that the state is not only monitoring residents but also foreigners who enter the country by land at the border police install an app on their smartphones that scans contacts images videos
