Most of the people living in China are not happy with the government policy on internet censorship which makes it virtually impossible to access Facebook in China. This is especially true of foreigners who are on business trips and expats who are only in China because of their careers and simply don’t understand why they should be separated from their friends and family just because they are visiting another country.
However, there is absolutely nothing that they or anybody can really do about it from a collective point of view in general terms. However, as an individual are some things that you can do about it which will give you the freedom that you desire as far as surfing the web is concerned.
You can surf the web, visit any of the blocked sites and of course access Facebook in China by making use of either a web proxy or a VPN. Either of the two will make it possible for you to access sites that were previously inaccessible. The best part is that learning to use them is very easy and it doesn’t require any knowledge of computer programming or creating endless chains of commands and syntax. All you have to do is to make a choice between the two options, sign up, and go from there. Most of the time all that is necessary is connecting to a specific server outside China or typing your URL into a secure browser.
