why China block so many website like YouTube,Facebook,Twitter,Google+ ?

[Tom]

I am a Chinese and I love my country but these website did whats worry that made the goverment shut them down? I afraid that one day they may shut the Yahoo down as well l should only play without any international web...

Well they want to control what the population see and hears. By doing this their regime has less chance if being toppled as these websites are excellent places when organising revolutions etc. it also gives the illusion that there country is the best which is far from true

I am not Chinese and would like to give answer from my point of view:

Maybe because the Chinese government does not want the freedom of information has the potential to make national people not happy with the government. They are worry for incitement or persuasion to commit terror or insurgency against the government policy. As far as Yahoo can give good communication with Chinese government, hopefully they should not block Yahoo as well.

Well, those sites are used for masscommunication. I don't know what it is with that but the Chinese government seems to hate that stuff a lot. Just like there's next to no press freedom when it comes down to criticizing the Chinese government. I didn't know they also banned google, that seems like quite a weird move. Anyway, you should look into getting a VPN (Virtual Private Network), or at least in the future. Finding one that hasn't been banned is porbably quite difficult and I'm not sure how exactly it works but I'm sure someone else will be able to explain it better to you.
