Taking My Freedom With Me to China?

Solo Han asks: "I'm considering a move to China next year, and while I have just as many problems as y'all do with the government, I still like the freedoms afforded me, especially when it comes to access of information. Chinese citizens, however, do not have the same freedoms, as we are constantly reminded here on slash-o-dot. Pr0n, mp3z, and games aside, what are the things that those of you in the Celestial Kingdom know you cannot access, and specifically, what are the websites, search engines, news sites, and other sites that are classed as potentially 'dangerous' material? This brings me to my overall question: is the censorship that real, that hard to get around, and how do you do it? What methods and technologies are you aware of or use to circumvent the Great Firewall of China?"

  1. can we mark this ask slashdot as TROLL by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Wow, this has got to be the worst ask slashdot question ever. First we make cracks at the US government for no real reason other then to do so, then you go on to talk about wanting to move to china.

    Come on lets get real and discuss the news and something we can do something about and know about. Normally ask slashdots are interesting, this just has troll spelled all over it.

  4. We don't stuff freedom down throats by jgardn · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Because we have never "stuffed freedom down people's throats." People naturally desire to be free. It's part of being human. The only thing standing in their way is tyrants and oppression.

    What did we do to make Japan free? We removed the tyrants (the military culture) and removed the oppression of women.

    The same thing needs to happen in China, one way or another. Those people who wield power abusively need to be removed from their positions. Those cultural elements that oppress need to be discarded. From there, freedom will flourish, just as it has everyway else.
