It is amazing to see how far China will go to attempt to control user access to information. The thing is, as they continue to ride this capitalistic boom their ability to restrict the masses will continue to diminish. Technology will equate to freedom, sooner rather than later as you can't have a technologically advanced society and be trapped under a net of censorship. Those ideologies are mutually exclusive.

Technology will equate to freedom, sooner rather than later as you can’t have a technologically advanced society and be trapped under a net of censorship. Those ideologies are mutually exclusive.
