Answer:
Internet censorship in the People's Republic of China (PRC) affects both publishing and viewing online material. Many controversial events are censored from news coverage, preventing many Chinese citizens from knowing about the actions of their government, and severely restricting the freedom of the press. Such measures inspired the policy's nickname, the "Great Firewall of China".
