Introduction
The first amendment in the constitution of the United State of America states the freedom of religion, press and expression would be cornerstone for the democracy and the base of all human rights. Nowadays, freedoms of the speech are not limited only towards publication of articles, criticism towards unfairness and the voice of the people towards the government. With the advancement of technology, Internet and social media become the new battle ground to testified and challenge those laws. Unlike the Internet freedom we so appreciate and could not live without here in America, some other parts of the world, Internet restriction is control to the maximum level so the voice of the people would be silenced under the tyrannies of government. This action is against human right and politically unfair, it would oppress the opposition and create imbalance in the global economy.
This paper would focus on the Internet censorship in the People Republic of China, and the effect of such action towards the global economy, especially towards the US economy. Identified important issues, and offer a feasible solution to the issues that would mutually benefit both economies.
