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?"
Why not whine if they take away his freedom, especially as forcefully as by jailing him? Are you satisfied with the 2B Chinese people living in repression, and the threat of China to the rest of the world? If this guy is brave enough to go there and live as free as he can, an example to others, why are you dumping on him? Do you think freedom is just another cultural style?

What about the good things about China? Like the fact that you can buy most hollywood movies 'in Government run shops" for about AU$1 each! Or the fact that living there knowing the government is nice enough not to go to Iraq pre-emptively and kill lots of civilians?
