Internet censorship in China memes typically revolve around the 'Great Firewall,' the sophisticated system of legislative and technological actions used to regulate the internet domestically. These memes often satirize the blocking of major Western platforms like Google, Facebook, and YouTube, or the specific bans on certain imagery, such as comparisons between world leaders and fictional characters. Usage peaked during major political events and global discussions about digital privacy and state surveillance. These memes serve as a form of digital commentary, using humor to highlight the contrast between the global open web and the highly monitored 'Chinternet,' often featuring themes of VPN usage, redaction bars, and the ubiquitous social credit system.
