Censorship in China

As long as people are will devote their time and energy ways around censorship can be found. I'm sure a hacker could figure out what words are blocked by keyword blocking by running a series of tests.  Encrypting is always an option.  Setting up a firewall that on a website that could potentially block the filters or one that solely runs off of verbal referral and a code are options.  People have been working to get around this type of thing for years.  As long as they have a little ingenuity it's not totally possible to stop things like Occupy Hong Kong from happening.  As long as there are people in China who don't agree with what their government is doing and is willing to fight for it, things like this won't stop happening.  In order to eliminate the possibility of these things happening you have to eliminate a certain character trait in people.  Yes, their censorship is largely successful, because their goal is to minimize these events, and there are few events like this.
