Picture of the day: Chinese sovereignty is sacred and inviolable!
Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, among many other popular foreign websites and web services, are blocked by China’s Great Firewall, an infrastructure designed to make some internet content inaccessible to Chinese internet users, unless they use proxy or VPN to get around it. Gmail and Google search engine are blocked intermittently, and even when they are temporarily available, the access is very slow and poor. China views user-generated content that is not subject to its regulation or censorship as dangerous.
