--1- What information does China censor? And why? China censors various things. Most of the time it's about negative things about the government, but it can also be about security issues, murders, and some specific medical issues. China is very paranoid about the United Nations because they care about human rights. If information about the rules of the Central Propaganda Department is somehow leaked, then the government will attempt and most likely succeed in taking the person to court. Posting about any type of human rights violation will land the poster in a lot of trouble. Most of the time, the goal of censorship is to avoid panic, reduce protests, and prevent other countries from getting involved. If a few people insult the government online, nothing bad happens, but if a larger group does it, the government will get involved. China is not only censoring, but also adding elements that make them look better. Sometimes they take over a website and change the content to the exact opposite. When there is a change in government, surveillance increases and laws become stricter. On the contrary, during the Olympics, the levels of censorship and surveillance decrease because of all the tourists and all the advertising.2- How is the media controlled?The media is controlled in various ways. The most common method is to completely delete or replace the information. The Great Firewall is what people call the firewall that prevents users from accessing certain sites. To find sites that require censorship, they create algorithms to scour the Internet for blacklisted words. Internet service providers (ISPs) are required to cooperate with the government and sign the public commitment, which has been criticized by the United States... middle of newspaper ...... worried about China and its censorship. Some businesses are unwilling to enter into transactions due to limited internet access. All the surveillance and censorship leads to problems in business, commerce and the economy. Many countries are also concerned about how people are treated in China. Some companies do not want to rely on a country where human rights are violated. Another problem is that more and more business transactions and other economic-related activities are happening online, but with the Great Firewall, the Internet slows down and makes it more difficult to track. Random internet outages slow everything down and can cause communication issues. All these problems cost China's trading partners and financial advantages dearly. China is only hurting itself with its surveillance and censorship, and this could cause problems in the future for the long-standing country of China..
