Default Re: Beijing tightens internet controls

A sinking feeling is spreading among China’s internet users. Over the past nine months, the government has tightened online censorship to an extent not seen in years and there is a growing realisation the new roadblocks are here to stay.

The authorities’ focus has been to cut the country’s 350m users off from the fast-emerging interactive networking websites, such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, which have been closed for several months. China’s Twitter equivalent Fanfou has also been down for more than 100 days.
