We are honored to be shortlisted for the IJ4EU Impact Awards 2026, for The Great Firewall Export: China's Censorship Technology Goes Global.
A cross-border investigation by eight organizations.
What we found: China's censorship model is now a product. Geedge Networks, founded by Fang Binxing, known as the father of China's Great Firewall, is selling it ready-made to governments abroad.

"Over the past two decades, the Chinese government has been steadily refining their model of internet control using surveillance and censorship technologies domestically while promoting this approach to other nations under the banner of 'digital sovereignty'."

How #China’s #Propaganda and #Surveillance Systems Really Operate
Leaked documents have pulled back curtain on how digital #censorship tools are being marketed and exported globally. #GeedgeNetworks sells what amounts to a commercialized “#GreatFirewall” to at least Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Ethiopia, and Myanmar. The groundbreaking leak shows in granular detail the capabilities this company has to monitor, intercept, and hack internet traffic.

Seems like Geedge's TSG ("Great Firewall of China") relies on IP 5-tuples to identify traffic flows at its core? I'm wondering if an hypothtical "obfuscation" protocol could help blur the lines. For instance, something that disassambles/reassembles packets across multiple source and dest ports, and maybe even network interfaces/IPs(?) - that would make it trickier to monitor, though not impossible, but with the goal of decreasing the efficiency / relevance of TSG

Incroyable tout ce qu'on apprend sur le Great Firewall of China ici, suite à un leak: https://github.com/net4people/bbs/issues/519#issuecomment-3282101626
Les différents outils ne se limitent pas à la surveillance du trafic, ils incluent toute une panoplie d'attaques/injections de malwares, en particulier lorsque le traffic n'est pas chiffré.
Ça ne concerne pas que la Chine mais aussi Myanmar, le Pakistan, l'Éthiopie, le Kazakhstan et un pays mystère (? "A24")

Geedge Networks exports #China internet #surveillance abroad, at least in 🇰🇿 🇪🇹 🇵🇰 🇲🇲. “Through the #GeedgeNetworks suite, government clients are able to detect the use of many different VPNs and other circumvention tools such as Tor and Psiphon. […] this implicates specific providers that have publicly denied collaborating with governments to censor and surveil”
