Why does China's internet censorship frustrate foreigners?

Most Chinese do not know what is on the other side of the wall. By the wall I am talking about life in Europe and any and all of the other educated countries. This censorship you talk of is one way the government of China controls information. I do not know if you have ever heard the statement, Knowledge is power, information is knowledge. The more the government keeps from the people in China the easier it is to control these same people. I find it hard to believe so many Chinese buy into the censorship is to block . There is everywhere you go in China. Every flea market every sidewalk business everywhere you can buy . Censorship has nothing to do with , it is to keep as much information from the Chinese people as they can. When I am in China sometimes after(or during) a meal my wife and her family will sit and we talk about life outside China. I do not tell them how great it is, I do tell them how I live and how my wife will live when the US decides to let us have a visa. What they hear from me is new to them and the things I send there are new. They have not ever gotten information that told them how Americans really live. They have heard reports of the way Americans live but these were almost funny to me when they told me. The censorship is not about , so what do you think it is about? Information, everybody should have the right to educate themselves as much as they want. With education comes the ability to make better decisions. Tell me a good reason why any government would want to keep their people uneducated or uninformed. Who benefits from the people not being informed? Other than the government in charge? The Chinese people do not even get the information about what their government does to the Chinese people. When 6 or 8 nations send diplomats to China to talk about what the Chinese government has done and the Chinese government meets with them for several days, this shows something is going on. Everybody in the world reads about the meetings, except the people in China. Chinese people only read how great the world thinks they are. They read how everything they do is great. Where I live I read about the stupid things the US government does and how countries hate us for some reason or another. I get to read what we do right and what we do wrong. People who live with censorship do not get the same information about their country as I do about mine.
