Your handle shows promises of honesty, but where is it when you end up bundling a "country" of some one billion and a half people under the all-encompassing banner of an pejorative qualifier such as "fucked up"? Come on.

Yeah, well, the "country" has an all-encompassing government, which is pretty consistent in applying a uniform set of policies (at least when the policies benefit the government, anyway). In the context of an article about censorship and cooperating with authoritarian governments, it makes perfect sense.
Just wanted to point out that many Chinese citizens are victims of the system you're describing and it would be unfair to them to use too broad a stroke when talking about a "country" (as opposed to "The Chinese government" or even "some factions of the Chinese government").
