I am not sure if you are aware that Google and Youtube are not accessible in China. Since I am catering students in this country, most of them reacted differently with the availability of international social networks. It seems that they are not updated of what’s happening outside their country. Even Mr. Facebook cannot invite them to join. On the other hand, I also heard that they can access these social medias by using a software application. But then, it is considered illegal act in their country. The good news, they don’t have concrete punishment if found out using these social networks. It is like information blocked out for the people in China.

China blocks access to much of the internet for political reasons

If you understand what it curtails to maintain national security, then you would not single surveillance out as some blocks for political reasons. Chinese today especially the young generation have internet access and broad acquaintances to the outside world. I don't know if you are aware or not of this, and if you do then I am sure whatever the country is blocking will have no effect at all since we all can communicate via various approved social networking sites and tools to know if our country is doing the wrong thing.
If the government is deemed to be that low down, then I am sure the 13billion must be lunatics to be subjected to such governance.

@arthurchappell You said it right. I had stayed in China and worked there before. Some people cannot say things about what's going on and remained puzzled at times.

@artemeis such censorships have been tried before - many young Germans in Nazi Germany and occupied Europe risked their lives listening to American jazz stations on radio

@abhinalstrikr I think they are using their own counterpart of these international websites. However, the information is limited.

@abhinalstrikr I think the reason is that their government refused to tie up with the other international websites.

@scheng1 I got your point. They might know what's going on outside their country. There is no doubt since they can tapped information by using an app that is considered illegal in accessing international websites. However, it is not easy access. Based on what I've heard from reliable sources in China, some news within the country is not being broadcast in full details. In most cases, it is being concealed.

@JudyEv Are you sure?
I think you have noticed that a lot of Chinese tourists are going to your country.
In fact, the Chinese have been snapping up milk powder from the supermarkets.
if the Chinese government wants to keep information from the people, they might as well stop them from travelling.
If that happens, the economy of Australia will suffer.
