Can you imagine being denied the basic security of logging into your bank without the best protection available?
You have to wonder what part of "if you weaken I-net security for Government access, you also weaken it for Hacker access" they don't get?!?

The Chinese government has deployed an update to its national censorship tool, known as the Great Firewall (GFW), to block encrypted HTTPS connections that are being set up using modern, interception-proof protocols and technologies.

The ban has been in place for at least a week, since the end of July, according to a joint report published this week by three organizations tracking Chinese censorship -- iYouPort, the University of Maryland, and the Great Firewall Report.

Through the new GFW update, Chinese officials are only targeting HTTPS traffic that is being set up with new technologies like TLS 1.3 and ESNI (Encrypted Server Name Indication).

Yet another example of China spiralling into full blown dictatorship and Mao Zedong era mistakes. When you give to much power to a few people they always try and hold onto it for dear life. Makes me think of the government / black ops control of ufo secrecy and why we'll have to pry disclosure from their cold, dead hands.
