Many smartphone addicts like watching videos and TV serial on our phones, since we can access it anytime and anywhere we want. When it comes to watching videos, YouTube lets you enjoy their videos without ads if you subscribe to the YouTube Red service. On top of ads-free video playing, YouTube Red also allows you to play videos in the background, and save the videos for offline watching on your Samsung galaxy s8. But you should know that you can’t watch anything from YouTube in China.
Why you can’t access YouTube in China?
The China and government need to review the Internet resources, monitoring, filtering, deleting, shielding, or closing of a portion of the content, including some illegal contents and some “negative contents”, so there are a lot of conflicts between YouTube and China.
