How to Get Around China’s Block on Twitter

For a whole generation of Chinese citizens, Twitter is just a myth, a figment of their imaginations like an imaginary best friend. Maybe they’ve heard about it from a friend traveling abroad, maybe even seen in it a movie that sneaks past China’s rigorous censorship standards.
With smart use of the Internet and by employing a specific type of application known as a Virtual Private Network (VPN), you can circumvent China’s on Twitter and tweet to your heart’s content. To find out how, just keep reading.
Twitter’s Censorship History

Iran was the first country to ban Twitter outright, doing so for fear of organized protests following the results of hat country’s presidential election. Other than for a brief period in 2013, Iran has banned Twitter continuously.
In 2016, North Korea became the the third country to block use of Twitter outright,citing is concern about the spread of online information and declaring anyone trying to access it would be subject to punishment.
China’s Internet Censorship

The government has total control over Internet access in mainland China as well as Hong Kong. This means it can sever any connection or block any website as well. The Chinese government has also been suspected of using this power to attack other websites and temporarily close them. In addition to Twitter, such popular Western websites as Google, Facebook, and Wikipedia are all blocked in China.
The VPN Workaround
Most VPN websites are blocked in China, although some newer ones slip through the cracks based on how they are named. Thus, the best way to get around China’s block of Twitter is to download a reliable VPN application while you are outside of China’s borders.

Ideally, look for a server located close to China to reduce the latency time – the physical distance a signal has to travel from your computer to the server you’re using to access the Internet. Once you’ve picked a server, you can connect and begin keying in websites you want to visit.
Since this is happening in a different country, China cannot see what you are doing online. The same process happens in reverse as you download information from the Internet. It first lands at the remote server, where it is encrypted then sent to your device for decryption.
