France can only block French based reporting.

The people have internet and will just read from other sources.

There are tons of VPNs the Chinese use every day to access the rest of the world.

All the Chinese authorities will see is a person's computer connected to a VPN and data transferred back to
them using 128 bit encryption. Some even offer the retrieved data sent in packets of 100mbs each because
even while encrypted, file sizes give clues as to the content.

China is working to stop VPN usage but it currently is still operating through several sites.

China calls their censorship the great firewall of China.

Oh right, I forgot your one of those people that thinks the Chinese people are all 'western and modern' now with cell phones and the internet and such.

Believe it or not, China internet users are 22% of the entire world online.

They have 538 million internet users. That's 65% more internet users than the US has in total people.

The US has only 245 million users. That's less than half as many users as China.

Aside from the US, India, Japan and Brazil, China has approx. 10 times as many users as any other country in the
world.

I don't understand what you meant by your statement what about China, if you weren't referring to the
Chinese media blackout?

The Federal Government PR machine.

I watched Meet the Press for about ten minutes this morning...I had to turn it off when Ted Koppel and Bob Woodward started competing for who could stoke up more fear.  They talked about Iran, Syria, Mali, Western Africa, Afghanistan, and Ted Koppel actually said this is one of the most dangerous times in American History.  I kid you not.  The fear propaganda isn't left or right, it's all about preservation of the state.  And nothing creates intense nationalism like a scary "bad guy".
