i thought china had strict filters is this not on the list of unaproved websites in china because i herd they ban alot of websites like this.

also is hong kong part of china or is it its own nation, because i was always taught it was its own nation but some people say its a protectarite (i know i spelt it wrong)of china.\

The filter in China is as useful as those you find in your school computers. There are ways to get around.

Hong Kong is an autonomous region like Tibet or Xinjiang, it has its own house of representative and passes its own laws independent of China, it even have its own currency. It is a protectorate in the sense that it doesn't have its own army, although it's not a word we commonly use to describe the relationship.

And even if you don't know how to get around, I found very few sites to be blocked while I was there this summer. The blocklist is constantly changing, but I had solid access to Facebook and the BBC for the month I was there, which in the past were blocked.

A lot of the blocking centers around politically "sensitive" material such as the Tiananmen Square massacre, the negative sides of the cultural revolution, etc.
