Web-sites

As mentioned above, China funnels most of its Internet's web service through several central locations. In doing so, it is able to block out key web-sites that the government believes is not appropriate for its citizens.

The normal Internet user (with very little know-how) may utilise a tool called a proxy server. While others may just make a long distance call to a neighbouring country and use an alternate service provider.
