= = Chinese Internet Alex Shutter  Have you ever heard or read about the Chinese internet? Well the main issue of the Chinese internet in the Great Firewall of China. The Great Firewall of China was created by the Chinese Government. The Great Firewall of China is a surveillance device that lets the Chinese government look at what people are doing on the internet. It also blocks websites that talk about other governments. People don’t like this idea. They say they want privacy on the internet. Now this day some people are protesting outside the headquarters to stop the Firewall.  Why do we use the internet? We use it for important stuff. Or we use it for no apparent reason at all. The USA and China both use the internet for the same purposes. Such as reading news, searching information, checking email, listen to music, watch videos, download files, and shop on the internet.  Do you know that the USA can also have a firewall too? Like China has a firewall that lets you see what you’re doing on the internet. Well USA has something like that too. Some family’s in the USA want to be safe. So they download a file that shows what there kids are doing on the internet and blocks bad sites.  Why was the Great Firewall of China created? It was made when the escalation of the Chinese governments effort to get rid of critical online opinion. After a large series of anti- Japanese protests and riots. Many if which were organized by chatting, email, and text messages.  So you can see. China has some different things about the internet. It also has some similarities to the USA internet. Hope this helped your learn about Chinese internet.
