Those native to country have used underhanded methods in order to gain access to international media sources for several different reasons, though some dismiss the issue completely. One effect of censorship is that it restricts progress of rapidly growing economy. Businesses need the ability to observe and contact foreign companies. In general, people feel the necessity to bypass the firewall through proxy servers and VPNs. More specifically, a total of 1 in 8 citizens. Lastly, it forces them to be creative with words or images online in order to express opinions and ideas. This includes a variety of slang, acronyms, and memes.

Censorship is the act of examining media and internet sources for the purpose of providing content that doesn't go against the nation's principles and government. The Chinese government doesn't want its citizens exposed to international websites. They don't want to risk their citizens learning about other cultures that the citizens may prefer. This would lead to revolts against the Chinese government.

Chinese citizens are only allowed access to the websites that the government approves. Citizens are not allowed on any social medias to prevent people from seeing any untrue rumors. The government does this with monitoring systems and firewalls. The government is allowed to do this since they stated these websites contain state secrets, and if people found out, it would put the whole country in danger. If any Chinese citizen is to go against this strict policy, they will either be fined or sent to jail. The government also sells its citizens iPhones that automatically save their histories, and the government can access what the people do on their phones.

Chinese censorship is now hurting American medias, and now certain websites must limit what they say. Any American websites Chinese citizens are granted access to face the pressures of censorship and surveillance from the Chinese government. Apple was told to remove certain applications from the Chinese App Store without any explanation. The Chinese government just told Apple that what they put in was illegal in China. Streaming rates of American television shows are being affected since the Chinese government banned American television shows that were extremely popular in China. These shows were, "The Big Bang Theory," "The Practice," "The Good Wife," and "NCIS." Because of China's big market, many American companies are trying to make their products more accessible to the Chinese internet.

A substantial amount of Chinese citizens want admittance to the global internet, some even sneaking their way into it. This knowledge should be enough to convince the government to permit everyone the ability to do so. Almost all news is posted on media sources, so many feel that they require the ability to gain that important information. The punishment for bypassing the Chinese firewall should also be reduced if not completely eliminated.
