Internet limits is China are not new. Lots of sites and services are blocked in the country by Great Chinese Firewall. Many users in China are using VPN applications to access blocked websites and services (among blocked sites are Youtube, Facebook, Gmail and many others.)
However according to the new rules the official Android and Apple App stores will no longer allow Chinese users to download the VPN applications.
People who follow the news closely might have anticipated the coming of a full VPN ban. In January 2017, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced that it would ban “illegal services” that carry out cross-border operations, including unauthorized virtual private networks (VPNs), until March 2018.
Yet July 2017 is eight months ahead of March 2018, and state authorities have made no official announcement of the ban being expedited. Chinese human rights activist Hu Jia believes that the ban is related to the upcoming 20th anniversary of Hong Kong being handed from British to Chinese power, which falls on July 1. A few months later, the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China will meet in November. He said on Twitter:
#七一 香港自由法治20周年沦陷日和下半年中共 #十九大,会是两个筑墙锋锁网络的高潮。#习近平 本人主抓网络安全,投入力度和效率远较过去加大了。#习特勒
#July 1 the 20th anniversary of the doomsday of Hong Kong’s rule of law and freedom and the CCP #19 Congress around end of the year would be the heyday of the Great Fire Wall. #Xi Jinping is responsible for cybersecurity and he is more heavy-handed and effective in controlling the net. #Xitler.
