The majority of people in China have also been under a Communist dictatorship for the last five decades or so, last time I checked. They don't have the same access to information from around the world that we do, which is kind of the point.
Even so, during "the era of Chairman Mao," there was widespread starvation, human rights abuses, and tens of millions of deaths caused by the oppression and/or incompetence of the government. And that's just what we know about. Only those suffering from severe amnesia or insanity would love to go back to that era.

So it's ok to censor violence in video games?
IMO, censorship is wrong in all but the most extreme circumstances, and this definitely doesn't qualify.
P.S. What is the E.U.'s position (if any) on censorship?
And the thread has reached a new low. Bit of a superiority complex, methinks.
