China uses the "Great Firewall of China" as a political tool. If Chinese social media can ONLY connect to other Chinese social media, it promotes the same way of thinking. Limiting Chinese citizens (including Taiwan, Tibet, etc.) to only Chinese media promotes communist ideas. Basically, it's the country's way of "censoring" the Internet.

Due to the “Great Firewall” of China as the Chinese government's internet censorship project is commonly called, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other leading social media players, are all block in the country. However, the Chinese social media landscape is not incomparable with it's western counterpart. China's media scape in terms of social networking almost mirrors that the rest of the world except that each of these sites is a domestically engineered platform.

China's closed social network is a result of the government's desire to control and monitor online content and communication. This is part of their broader strategy of regulating information and maintaining social and political stability. Although we all know China is a sleeping Dragon.

There is no one to one relationship between friends and family in China. There is no open social networkers like there is in other countries. Your friends are people you've met through society, and they are people who know about your work and Whatsapp messages. There is no "like' button' on Chinese social media platforms, so it is hard to find friends in China. There is no idea of 'bighead' or 'loner.' There is no sense of community or support system in China. There is no sense of being an part of a community.
