China has been the world leader in Internet censorship for the past 9 years.

The Freedom House's annual Internet Freedom report for this year was released on October 4th and shows that China remains the world's leading country in restricting internet freedom.
The report indicates that global internet freedom has deteriorated for 13 consecutive years. In China, internet freedom has been on the decline for nine years in a row, and it is increasingly becoming more restrictive.
The report, published by Freedom House, assesses the internet environment and freedom levels in 70 countries worldwide. China ranks second to last on the freedom scale, scoring below 100 out of 100.
However, despite this, Taiwan ranks first in terms of internet freedom in the Asia-Pacific region, with Japan coming in as the second-best country with a score of 77 out of 100.
The examples cited in the report indicate that official web administrators and censors in China swiftly remove any content related to the systematic "genocide" in East Turkistan, the Tiananmen Square incident, China's economic setbacks, and the lifetime rule of Communist Party (CCP) Leader Xi Jinping, as well as any form of criticism or anti-CCP sharing.
"URUMCHI FIRE TRAGEDY"
The report also highlights instances of resistance by the people against the increasing harsh repression of the Chinese regime. In November 2022, as a result of China's misguided actions under the pretext of "preventing and controlling the pandemic," a fire tragedy occurred in the central city of Urumchi, where official figures report 41 casualties (unofficial sources suggest that 119 individuals within the building, from the apartment entrances to their doors, were locked from the outside). These policies, which cost lives, were abandoned in the region and across China only after widespread protests by the civilian population took to the streets.
Experts note that, among China's approximately one and a half billion people, there has been no significant movement to abandon the arbitrary restrictions imposed by the Chinese regime, except for minor protests during periods of strict pandemic measures.
