YouTube was first blocked in China for over five months from October 16, 2007, to March 22, 2008. It was blocked again from March 24, 2009, and has since been inaccessible from mainland China.
The ban is part of the Great Firewall, with searches for ‘YouTube’ on Baidu displaying a message about local regulations. Despite the ban, many Chinese media outlets maintain official YouTube accounts, and it remains a highly visited site due to VPN usage.
