Well China is a communist dictatorship, they block off sites like Ebay and anything they are not proud of.
Well Carrefour typically brings in products from other countries such as France or other European countries.
Well China wants to keep their people in the country and ignorant, so they don't want Carrefour coming as it can influence the Chinese population (that is why it is censored in China).
The educated chinese on the other hand (young students as you said) know what is going on and want to bring cultivation and knowledge to the population.
Search for Tianaman square in chinese or in china, you will only find pictures taken by tourists of the place now. Search it in the US and you find the famous picture of the student in front of the tank.

firsttly,thanks for your reply,but I think your thought is simple,I dont think you know what is happpening between China and France.anyways,We do like Carrefour before,and we buy products from carrefour which mostly producted in China,this is not the main reason why chinese dont buy in Carrefour,read the newspaper or on the internet you will find keywords like Beijing olympic games, Tibet,Carrefour,Torch Relay in Paris etc.I think you dont know The real China,Cos you live in USA.
Well.thanks again&take care
