Some research has shown that the filtering is not only on the borders, but I don't think that's of great consequence. By far, the major ways China controls what its netizens see online is 1) requiring companies which host content domestically (sites such as those serving media; SNSs; and (micro)blogging platforms) to maintain a high level of vigilance to take down disapproved content when it’s created, and 2) the Great Firewall, which prevents access to disapproved content from abroad. > the UK with BT's Cleanfeed.

Haven’t seen that in CN, but it might be hard to detect—it might require someone to “stumble” upon it. Best, Eric
