Tankman's Comedy

The Tienanmen square incident caused a huge, international uproar. The world is used to people keeping their heads down and not going against the flow. People who stand up for what they believe in get remembered. The video was quite shocking because it shows that there are some people in China who are willing to risk their lives to get change. This shows that Chinese people are not afraid to step against the government and the country is moving in the direction that the citizens want. The progression of china and its people is great sign, however, because of china's reaction with removing all of the videos and pictures of the indecent from the internet, it shows that they still can't face the fact that they are wrong. they are worried that they may loose their power over the Chinese citizens. This is an extreme jump forward, and every movement starts with one person and growing into many people. How this one man stands up for himself and his people by blocking the tanks is comical, informing, and extremely empowering making it a good video to spread around and make it go viral. Spreading this video to people and spreading the idea of fighting for the Chinese people's freedoms is the best thing you can do at this time.

Facebook is a blocked website because after July 2009 because Xinjiang independence activists were using Facebook as a part of their communication network. Some Chinese users also believed that Facebook would not succeed in China after Google problems. The popular Renren social network has many features similar to Facebook, and complies with PRC Government regulations regarding content flirting. As of 20 August 2013, China has unblocked Facebook.


YouTube was first blocked in the people's Republic of China for several months from October 15, 2007 to March 22, 2008. It was blocked again from March 24, 2009, although a foreign Ministry spokesperson would not confirm nor deny whether YouTube had been blocked. Since then, YouTube is not accessible from China.


Twitter was blocked in China; however, many Chinese people use it anyway. In 2010 Cheng Jianping was sentenced to 1 year in a labor camp for tweeting a comment that suggested boy cotters of Japanese products  should instead attack the Japanese Pavilion at the 2010 Shanghai Expo. Access to Twitter is currently blocked by the government in China.


Myspace is Currently unblocked but YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter are blocked in China. the Chinese citizens wanted all websites to be unblocked, but all of them except Myspace is blocked in China. The government said it was OK to not shut down Myspace.


Although Instagram hasn't visibly promoted itself in the Chinese market, it's been very successful with Chinese citizens. Just a month after the update was integrated, more than 100,000 images were uploaded in china. While Chinese government seems unperturbed by Instagram's growing popularity, one user said her photos are bad criticism by people who say she's portraying the country in bad light for China itself.
