The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has stepped up its efforts to block virtual private networks (VPNs), tightening control over tools that allow internet users to bypass its broad censorship. The CCP has begun targeting both service providers and individual users, escalating fears of deepening surveillance inside China.
Under the CCP, major platforms such as Google, Meta, and X are blocked, along with foreign news sites critical of the regime. VPNs are often the only way for Chinese users to access uncensored information from the outside world.
