I'm afraid yes Voidy, and not just in China, in SEA too.
What have you noticed in your day to day life of the state censorship of 'objectionable' material? Because in the West we always hear of the Chinese government using threats and bullying of smaller, non-state approved news organizations to silence events/ideas which put the acting government in a poor light.
Voidy and Strop, you'd be surprised how enterprising the Chinese get when it gets to hacking and circumventing the Great Firewall of China. My friend's 14 and she got Facebook up and running pretty easily by herself after we had a student exchange program. They use proxies a lot of the time. Of course, there is anger, Jasmine Revolution cough, but many of the Chinese just laugh it off and continue using whatever banned website they were.
If they want to that is, Baidu and QQ are pretty much mirror image sites of Google and MSN. I forgot what was their version of FB though.
Also, this cute little song which I don't know if it can be allowed past AG's censorship rules. Don't ''harmonize'' it for me please? But for the sake of its academic value I'm just going to put it here. Read the description on the vid.
Yes I suppose they filter a lot of the news and such, but no matter, us Jews of the East always have a way around.
