It isn't. China blocks domains from being accessed from its infrastructure.
Basic flow diagram looks like this: Request -> DNS -> DNS Look up will provide IP Address to route request -> request knows where to go now. China will either redirect or block traffic at the DNS layer. So you can technically block/redirect traffic but it isn't straightforward to only block specific traffic based on where the request originated from. Mainly because the request could have spoof'd attributes which would be a pretty easy work around. Trust me, if it was easy to identify malicious traffic and block bad actors then most companies would have implemented these measures independently.

Not really interested in the main debate but just wanted to provide info that it isn't as simple as most people think it is.

I'm sure the most determined and smart people could get through, but the vast majority of the riff raff could be filtered out which is still great

Trump just said he would turn off the internet if elected

Just like he said to "inject bleach", "eat fishfood" and stated Racist Whiteys were "very fine people", right?

You people do realize that the rest of us know when context is not used and when it's not applied to make something/someone sound ridiculous, no?

"ISIS is recruiting through the Internet. ISIS is using the internet better than we are using the nternet and it was our idea," Trump said. "I want to get the brilliant people from Silicon Valley and other places and figure out a way that ISIS can't do what they're doing. I would certainly be open to closing areas where we are at war with somebody. I sure as hell don't want to let people that want to kill us and kill our nation use our Internet."
