Social:Chinese Encyclopedia (online)
From HandWiki
The Chinese Encyclopedia is an online encyclopedia controlled by the Chinese government. Since Wikipedia is blocked by the Great Firewall, this is their alternative. News stories in 2017 said it would be released in 2018[1] with over 300,000 articles, written by 20,000 authors and scientists, controlled by the Chinese government. Western mass media describes this as censorship and propaganda.[2][3][4] China believes in internet sovereignty, meaning they keep strong control on information ingested by their citizens.
