China tightens grip over internet during key political meeting

China has increased its efforts to block software that allows internet users to access banned websites during a major political meeting, according to Astrill, a leading provider of firewall-leaping software. China maintains strict internet censorship, with users unable to access websites such as Google without using a virtual private network (VPN). VPN software has faced increasing difficulties in circumventing the censorship during the ongoing political event. The use of VPN without government authorization is illegal in China. The country's state-controlled media and social media platforms have also heightened the suppression of sensitive topics. President Xi Jinping has emphasized the importance of the state's control over the internet.
