I have to say that most of our people don't like the Communist party. But they have armies and we don't have voting to decide our desitiny. So so Fuck the goverment! I am from China.

That said, censorship is just taken to the extreme in China - but with recent moves in Australia to implement national level blocking and the DMCA blockings that go on even here in the western world how free any part of the internet is, is debatable. It would be interesting to know how much you can actually access from China if your determined. Do they block VPN for example? I'm guessing they don't as corporations rely on it. If they were to subscribe to encrypted VPN such as Torrent Freedom for example can the Chinese block such material? As long as the option is there, those that want to access the material China wish to suppress and freedom of ideas will continue. I also think that unfortunately it's part of a wider problem. Yes China has a big internet censorship policy but it's really their appalling human rights record, their lack of democracy and their wider supression of freedom of speech in all forms that really makes it the cancer on global society that it is. Hopefully however if China wishes to continue playing it's part as globalisation continues, it will be forced to change. It would be great to see a campaign spring up to achieve this.
