China’s Xi says internet must be ‘clean and righteous’
Chinese President Xi Jinping declared that the internet must be “clean and righteous” as the government continues to censor content for political, pornographic, satirical, violent, and other non-permitted content across blogs, live-streams, and other platforms. In 2017, the government shut down 128,000 websites for containing “harmful” information. Many foreign news outlet and social media platforms remain blocked in the country.
