#3"Hey UK, welcome to the club of repressive nations".
Nice work, China: this is pretty much the most effective indictment I can imagine of Cameron's idiotic response.

#4I really wish countries wouldn't fuel China's fire(wall). Statements like this by idiotic prime ministers and presidents, etc. just make it seem like the fight toward freedom of information is one not really worth fighting for when its not in a particular politician's best interest.
That is exactly what is happening in China...

#5Another reason why far reaching demands for censorship from government officials are a very bad idea: You lose all the little leverage you had over countries like China when you demand less censorship from them. They will just point at the statements and accuse you of hypocrisy. European politicians will be laughed out of the building when they come to China with demands of less censorship.

#6Of course they would ... I can understand why China, as the government entity, benefits from a strict control of information flow, but that still doesn't mean that people benefit. If a billion people one day decided to throw a revolt, that would be very troubling for China and the rest of us, so securing peace in the country is important, but not this way.

#7China to UK, "Would you like knowledge sharing? We have plenty of experience in hanging and executing civilian."
"Hell yes, we surely need that knowledge. Next time around we are going to let the riots run its course and then use your experience to hang as many as we can.", UK to China.

#8UK is supposed to be one of the most socially advanced countries in the world. It is sad that Cameron has to give out such comments and China...there are no words for what china ever does.

Their parliament seems to have been effective in prohibiting that use of footage of parliament be used for parody. [see recent blackout of a John Stewart segment]
