Anyway.. I see one major problem.. China still has the strict 1-child policy. There was a documentary shown where I'm at, showing a poor working-class family that got two kids. They were not allowed to get health insurance, education, public support in ANY way for this kid, because they already had one. This family was completely 'banned' from public services, because they had two kids instead of one.
The censorship of youtube may not seem like a big thing, but there are BILLIONS of videos on youtube. Loads and loads of different types of videos. People are not just censored from nasty stuff - but also from videos by completely regular people overseas. In some areas even FACEBOOK and xanga are blocked sites. The fact that they cannot use something as regular and innocent (to me at least) as Twitter is just ridiculous.
They aim to be a dominating power in this world.. but to me the government seems like a paranoid bunch of kids who're afraid to let anything westernized into their country.

Firstly i will admit i am choosing thelazy option in satisfying my curiosity.
Secondly i dont see them doin anything wrong in what you just laid out its not necessary to human life to be able to access facebook or twitter, i mean cmon thats just shallow.
saddam hussein was opressive
stalin was oppressive
mugabe is oppressive
Can China really be on par with those people?
