What an awesome country we have exported all our jobs to and buy our crappy products from.
Just me, I consider shopping at Wal Mart to be an act of treason. It's a real bugger to do business anymore and avoid products from China, but I try and by not shopping at Wal Mart my intent is rather easy to accomplish given that as much as 90% of their volume is in products from China.
A normal diet should be low in fat and sugar and consist of mostly fruit and vegetables, but we all know that that is NOT a normal diet for many around the world.
I'm not saying I agree with the level of censorship in China, just that it all depends who and from where one is looking. The PRC has always had a strict amount of censorship, so to them, it is normal.

But Bart, isn't that is capitalism at its finest - seek higher profits and market share at every opportunity.
Buisness Ehtics would be the shortest book ever written if one were to write it.
You might as well write fictions books like "Honest Politics" or "Military Intelligence".
Lmfao, 'normal'? Compared to what, some Muslim countries blocking Facebook for a week?
Probably North Korea.
Normal is all based on your point of view.

They're not claiming its "normal for them", they're claiming its normal for everyone.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu told reporters that Beijing supports the use of the Internet, noting that more than 400 million Chinese use it. Though she did not directly respond to questions about a new U.S. inquiry about Internet censorship, Jiang said that the issue should not be used as an excuse to meddle in Chinese affairs and that Beijing regulated the Internet to ensure its healthy development, just as other countries do.
"This is international practice," Jiang said at a daily media briefing. "At the same time, we are willing to work with other parties to step up communication and exchanges about the Internet and push for sound development of the cyberspace. But we oppose using Internet freedom as an excuse to interfere in other countries' internal affairs."

Fair enough, I missed that.
Still, given how many third world countries which are either dictatorships (or close to it) or have strict censorship (like many Muslim countries), they are probably still right. China obviously isn't setting the bar too high...

They have internet?!
Some do.
