China's internet censorship


China builds GFW (short for "Great Firewall") for internet censorship and information control. GFW is a system made up of government departments, national police, military power and many companies. It examines every word of each webpage and records automatically those webpages with sensitive words. Those webpages regarded as anti-government will be deleted as soon as possible and the author will be arrested for further questioning if necessary.

By the way, this is the reason why no one should easily trust Chinese media, especially those so-called official media.
