Difficulty in surfing a lot of foreign web sites is another problem in China. A lot of foreign web sites are blocked by China government, It seems Facebook is blocked too. The thing is that at times it's not, at times it is. Especially after the deadly riots in western region of Xinjiang, China government has taken all the usual steps to block citizens from accessing foreign web services: aside from crippling Internet service in general, the authorities have blocked Twitter, removed unapproved references to the violence from search engines and has now apparently moved to bar its citizens from accessing Facebook

Is Facebook really blocked in China? What other web sites are blocked in China? No one have a clear answer. As always with the Web in China, it’s very hard to say. China’s censors don’t discuss which sites they target – or, for that matter, the fact that they block sites at all. And enforcement often varies between regions and even between Internet service providers. Like in Singapore, users are notified when they are trying to access blocked content, Web surfers in China get connection “timeout” or “reset” messages, which might seem like a common computer error. That is just like the way they deal with many others matter, They did it but dare not admit it or try to cover it.
