冒险娘之旅 China Restricted Web

The internet restrictions frustrated me when I was in China. I cannot access to the English version of Google properly which meant not getting enough information or news for a month. Facebook, Youtube and Wordpress were restricted sites which took away my usual communication tools and entertainment channels. Luckily Whatapp was approved so I can still keep in touch with my family and friends. I also noticed that I can download videos faster using Letv, Youku and Tudou in China.

I was introduced to new apps by my Chinese friends. QQ and Wechat (Weixin) were the hottest communication tools in China now. Often, you can see locals recording their voice message and sending to friends. You can also update daily status like Twitter using QQ. But I wonder how the Telecoms cope with million of Chinese sending heavy recorded messages each day.
