Chinese authorities block access to big-name websites such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and numerous others, and to thwart these restrictions, many residents on the mainland use virtual private networks. Starting this week, that could be a crime. Use of VPNs and special cable connections in China must now be approved by the government, essentially making these services illegal in the country.
China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the new rules on Sunday, as reported by the South China Morning Post. Calling it a "clean-up" of the country's internet connections, the Ministry said the new rules would go live immediately and be in place until March 31st, 2018.

Actually the truth behind this story is that Chinese telecom companies, owned by the government, have been selling VPN software, which was never allowed by the government, so they are just enforcing a rule that was already in place. Those who use a VPN based with companies outside of China will not be affected.
Which reminds me, "Oh, say! does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? "
What Brave? when the country is being run by a coward who runs away from a shadow. Soon the streets will be empty as everyone will be too scared to go outside just in case a Muslim is walking by.
Oh, say! does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the running scared?
crayons: Obozo imported and brown nosed muzzie butt...
Wrong, the number of Muslims entering the USA dropped under President Obama, but never let real facts alter your opinions
The ChiComs dont import known terrorist muzzie's... Wrong, if you meet the criteria for a Chinese visa, anyone can enter but maybe we send ya our mohameds anyway...one way no return,

Wrong.................Plenty of Muslims live in China, if they get out of control, they are dealt with, swiftly! The Chinese are not scared of a supposed threat by some religious group. The Chinese are scared of the USA acting like a child that had its Ice cream taken away. Tantrums are never pleasant to watch!
