Summary: The government has continued to create more restrictions on the Internet. They have now began interfering with popular virtual private networks. These actions have complicated the lives of many Chinese. Many argue that the government is trying to achieve "cybersovereignty" and the Communist Party is hindering creativity and innovation needed to revive the slow growing economy.
Opinion: The Chinese government should not be able to control the Internet from their people. I understand why the Communist Party would want to control the Internet but at some point it is too far. People can not do complete their job to the fullest ability and student's learning is hindered because of it. The Chinese government needs to see that they are hurting themselves more than they are helping.
Ties to Politics: This article expresses political life in China because it discusses the government's control over the Internet. It represents how the Chinese government takes advantage of their powers. They are extending their powers to ensure the their people only see what they want them to see.
