Answer 2

Well, I used to live in Beijing and I would say we partly have religious freedom. My mom and I used to go to a Christian church close to our apartment on Sunday. These Christian churches or Buddhist and Islamic temples are registered in government documents so they are legal. Basically, as long as a religious organization does not trying to convince people the Chinese government is bad, it is okay for it to build its own church or temple and spread its religion. Some religious groups are seen by government as illegal in China because their doctrines or activities make the government feels being threatened. So Chinese government does not encourage people to be religious, but they don't care as long as you "support" the government's authority.

Answer 3

Nonetheless strict censorship is widespread in mainland China. There is heavy government involvement in the media, with many of the largest media organizations being run by the Communist government. References to democracy, the free Tibet movement, Taiwan as an independent country, certain religious organizations and anything questioning the legitimacy of the Communist Party of China are banned from use in public and blocked on the internet. Web portals including Microsoft's MSN have come under criticism for aiding in these practices, including banning the word "democracy" from its chat-rooms in China.

Due to close geographical proximity to Hong Kong, parts of southern China are able to receive broadcast signals from television channels in Hong Kong, where China's censorship does not apply. However, comments that the Communist Party feel uncomfortable with are cut out and replaced with TV commercials before they can reach consumers TVs in mainland China. Very few Western films are given permission to play in Chinese theatres, although widespread unlicensed copying of these films makes them widely available.
