^This is true I been in China for 2 weeks, it's quite different from what people say "authoritarian shithole" etc.
it's only the media who portrays it as an "authoritarian shithole", aiming to misinform people about what china is really like. If you do shit against the government, or commit a crime, THEN the authority will be a bitch to you. But if you don't, it will be pretty much like everywhere else.

Aren't you a communist
no I'm not a communist. I'm a capitalist, supporter of the Kuomintang (Chinese Nationalist Party), ie. I'm actually a capitalist supporter.

As someone who spent half his life in China and other half in Australia, I'd say both western and China will bag each other out endlessly. Believe what you want but China isn't too bad, I'd prefer Australia though, even though its boring here

Yes, but even if you get through - apparently the Government still monitors you.

No they don't. If you're on a proxy/using proxy software, there is no way that you can be identified (how the hell are they supposed to track down a proxy?).

I just remember reading it in a news article, something like "And even for those who bypass the so-called Great Wall of China - many do not know the websites they visit are still being tracked".

so yeah

Even if they track it, as long as you're not doing stuff against the government, i.e. watching a video that promotes hatred against the government, spreading messages about a riot in china, etc, then you should be okay, generally speaking.

Still, there shouldn't be a big firewall in the first place...

I mean, for that reason alone - I'm not going. I like my Youtube videos.

Oh come on, you can survive without youtube. Surely you will. Besides, in China, you may not even have time to go on youtube because some of the stuff can just be that awesome :)
