“The Chinese government could be about to relax its strict censorship laws, albeit only in a small area of one of its cities. The South China Morning Post reports that Facebook, Twitter and other websites will be unblocked in a free-trade zone of Shanghai. An unnamed official said the move was to make foreigners “feel at home”.
Facebook and Twitter have been blocked since 2009, following riots which the government blamed on social networks. The Chinese government routinely censors the internet and blocks access to websites it deems inappropriate or politically sensitive. According to the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) the country now has more than 591 million internet users and 460 million mobile web users.
The South China Morning Post report names Facebook, Twitter and the New York Times as sites that will be unblocked in the zone that is due to be launched at the end of this month.”
