Every country has their own rules, didn't India also cut off the internet altogether in parts of Delhi and Kashmir?
Yes and it was widely condemned for that move. Govt. of India has 0 right to do so. Do you also condemn the Chinese move to block the Internet?

China doesn't block the internet, if she did, she should be condemned.

Lol. It's not the Internet if it's behind a firewall. It's an intranet.
99% foreign websites are not blocked in China including this one, India and US also blocked Chinese websites and social media platforms for various concerns. What India is doing is cutting off the internet service altogether, that's a totally different story.

Not by numbers. By actual traffic. Why doesn't China give unfettered access to Social Media apps?

Apps are not websites. They are merely conduits through which data can be accessed. India has barred access to some apps because of data security reasons. What can be accessed on UC browser can also be accessed on Edge or Chrome.

Now why does China block access to the world's most popular networks?

They are basically websites and much more popular, China bans some also for security reasons, China will never allow popular social media platforms being in enemy hands, I also use facebook and twitter but Weixin is much much better. I have no problem with India banning Chinese apps, no country will allow their most popular social media platforms in hostile hands. but cutting off the internet all together is a different story.

The People’s Republic of China (PRC) is by far the biggest offender when it comes to Internet censorship -- the apparatus of Internet repression is considered more extensive and more advanced than in any other country in the world. Forbes magazine featured an article entitled “Cracks In the Wall (Feb. 27, 2006):

“Censorship is quite an industry in China. Every village has spies to watch neighbors; the mail and the poster boards are watched, say expat Chinese. It is said (by dissidents) that China has 40,000 Web police hard at work just in Beijing, looking over the shoulders of Web users and composing lists of banned words that cause a Web search to freeze up or a site to automatically be blocked.”

In fact, the regime not only blocks website content but also monitors who is using the Internet and what they are using it for. Amnesty International notes that China “has the largest recorded number of imprisoned journalists and cyber-dissidents in the world.” The "offences" they are accused of include communicating with groups abroad, opposing the persecution of the Falun Gong, signing online petitions, and calling for reform and an end to corruption.

China’s censorship system is so vast and so comprehensive that no other country even comes close. In a sense, it is all the more dangerous because all other repressive states look to China to gain censorship technology and know-how.


Do you condemn this?

India also threatens to ban facebook and twitter, it's perfectly ok for security concerns, there's no truly free internet, youtube and facebook regularly close pro China accounts too.

Blocking apps and sites are common practice in all countries, more or less.

But this is not common practice
The internet has been shut down 95 times in India so far this year, according to the Internet Shutdown Tracker, a portal which tracks such incidents across the country.

This is in PRC of course, not in Republic of China.
Then you see videos like "Why foreigners love to live in China"... Apparently they are some kind of masochists whom like their freedom to be restricted.

How is it possible that when I visit the forum this one dude has posted 20 new threads praising China? Something's rotten in the state of China.
