What???? They literally don't let people go on internet sites that are foreign so they can control people.

What is going on in this thread.

The Great Firewall of China (GFW) is the combination of legislative actions and technologies enforced by the People's Republic of China to regulate the Internet domestically. Its role in the Internet censorship in China is to block access to selected foreign websites and to slow down cross-border internet traffic.[1] The effect includes: limiting access to foreign information sources, blocking foreign internet tools (e.g. Google search, Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia,[2][3] and others) and mobile apps, and requiring foreign companies to adapt to domestic regulations.[4][5] Besides censorship, the GFW has also influenced the development of China's internal internet economy by nurturing domestic companies[6] and reducing the effectiveness of products from foreign internet companies.[
