There IS NO firewall.

No content is filtered in China.

China's users are welcome to view anything they want.

We have all the time in the (however long that is)

China has lots of people therfore who communicate to people about these problems.
In the western world we're so free the right hand dosent know what the left hand is doing.
You might simply follow the masion/jesuate route and find we're not free.
The freedom you think you have is an illusion and your not admitting the real problems scare mongured upon you.
So put simply make your complaints to these people but don't jump to bait.
After all the wars machine is killing everything and we are worth protecting.
As for the problems in the process of developing a long term world well you have all the time in the world however long that is.
Yes for that one moment it is a pain but for that whole life it is solution and life you trully know you want in your heart.
From what i've seen china would be wise to look into a statagy of opening up for the better of the world and especially the people of its country but you can not consider this world in its current malformation as the best option and remember we're waring with each other at the moment and there are loads of abuse cases right round the world and that so called freedom is not open, nor fair and is causing a lot of damage and our dreams are being obscured and taken away from us.
The whole world needs to become more evolved(to survive) and it's not just China who has problems getting there.
So trust in what your heart tells you and have the patience and directness to make sure you are fair don't just assume it will all be alright if you don't air a grevance or don't consider all of the picture.
