China’s internet now blocking The Washington Post and The Guardian

The Washington Post, The Guardian, Bloomberg and The New York Times are now blocked on China’s internet.

Censorship has increased under the backdrop of the 30 year Tiananmen Square anniversary with key words and images relating to the incident on the popular social media platform 'WeChat' being prohibited.

This move signals another shift in China’s authoritarian leadership since the pro-democracy protests in 1989.
