Wikipedia in All Languages Is Now Banned in China
Wikipedia is now completely unaccessible in China.
The Wikimedia Foundation has confirmed that all language editions of Wikipedia have been blocked in mainland China since April 2020.
The move is unexpected to the Wikimedia Foundation, yet China has been actively blocking certain internet sites. For example, Google, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
Turkey blocked access to Wikipedia since 2017.
The question we need to think about:
After implementing the new national security law, will HongKongers share the same fate as Mainland China, have our freedom on the internet blocked by the "Great Firewall"?
Are we still free to access foreign social media like Facebook and Twitter?

Sorry it’s a long piece - tldr: clubhouse the app really shows why China’s firewall is so useful.
Free speech and free exchange of ideas is proven to be a beautiful thing. Hope in the future there can be more of this.
However we don’t endorse clubhouse because of its provider. Swipe to read more.

Spending on #PCR tests in China soared months before first #COVID19 cases revealed: Report
//Spending on tests used to detect coronavirus in China’s Hubei Province soared in the months before official reports of COVID-19 first emerged, suggesting the virus was spreading in the northern summer of 2019, well before it was publicly acknowledged by the Chinese government.
The data, compiled by Australian cyber security outfit #Internet2.0, showed that the sale of polymerase chain reaction tests – used to detect the presence of specific viruses – jumped to 67.4 million yuan ($14.3 million) in 2019, from 36.7 million yuan in 2018, and 29.1 million in 2017.
“We have come to the conclusion that based on the data analysed it suggests the virus was highly likely to be spreading virulently in Wuhan, China as early as the summer of 2019 and definitely by the early autumn,” the report states.//

Illegal downloads of #Netflix #Korea's original series "#SquidGame" are circulating in #China with #Mandarin subtitle
//Netflix is not available in China. Technically, people in China shouldn't be able to access the series due to the nation’s #GreatFirewall, but many are watching it anyway through illegal streaming and download websites.
Many Koreans are expressing disdain toward the rampant online piracy of Korean content in China, and the popularity of “Squid Game” has made the issue much more tangible...
“Even though Netflix is not available in China and the Chinese government has been pushing back against Korean content in recent years, there are always websites that distribute Korean shows illegally,” said Park Kyung-suk, a history professor at Yonsei University who specializes in modern Chinese history.
“When I was living in China, I found out some websites even charge money for Korean content that they pirated. Even when a website gets taken down, another one springs up right away.”
According to the Korea Copyright Protection Agency, China is the top country of illegally distributing Korean cultural content — including television shows, films, webtoons and music — over the past five years. From 2017 until September this year, over 85,000 of the total 411,319 cases of copyright violation regarding Korean content happened in China, followed by the Philippines and Vietnam. Although not surprising considering China’s vast population, many Koreans express disdain that such a large viewership is consuming Korea’s intellectual property illegally.
“The disdain boils down to the fact that although China consumes a large volume of Korean content, the Korean firms that created them receive none of the profit that they rightfully deserve,” said Lee Gyu-tag, an associate professor of cultural studies at George Mason University Korea.//

China Censors Internet Show because of a Cake
The live stream of a popular Chinese KOL called Austin Li was censored in China on June 3, 2022. His Internet show was suspended reportedly due to the showcase of a cake that resembled a military tank on the eve of June 4.
On June 4, 1989, the Chinese Communist Party (#CCP) government sent troops and tanks to "clear" the pro-democracy protest at #TiananmenSquare, killing and wounding many civilians.
The said KOL did not post any news on his social media platform since; meanwhile, the "tank cake" becomes a popular search word on the Chinese Internet.
