I am currently in Shanghai and have been traveling around China for the last month. I have been getting a first hand view of what censorship for this country is like. Just from my sources from home, I can compare the difference in information been provided to the people here. The censorship is seen in everything as well, from the recent Tibet issue to a film I watched again just this evening. Whole chunks of information are removed or changed to suit the powers that be.

The country is growing at ever increasing speed and more and more opportunities are becoming available but I feel that huge sacrifices have to be made to be involved in these opportunities. For me I don’t think I could sacrifice my free access to information.
