I agree with you for
* Tiananmen square. Murders against any form of civil disobedience.
* Great firewall, general suppression of information from citizens.
* Massive amounts of political corruption.
* Human rights violations aplenty.
These are suffered by the Chinese people, but unfortunately that's not what you really care about...
For the other points, especially the ones with foreign policies, China is much nicer (or you may even say weaker) than other countries. For me, I just hope despite all the political shows, there will be no war nor region conflicts.
Anyways, I guess he's offended by the word "repressive nation", use "repressive government" would be a little better.
I tried several words, they are not blocked. Maybe it's because the government is loosing some of the restrictions, which seems to be true in the last few months. Usually political sensitive contents on Renren (RENN) were blocked within a few hours, but now they are "allowed" to be there, for now. My favorite blocked word was "Tomorrow", which was blocked during Feb 2011 when "Arab Spring" spread to China, so that people could't say things like "let's go on the street tomorrow", lol, of course, it's not blocked now.
One of the posts down the page references "The Great Weibo Unblocking of late-January 2012", and many of the posts show separate block statuses from November and February.
