http://www.duke.edu/~faq/eagate/reports/Censorship_In_China-Report.pdf

Only recently, Chinese journalist are able to investigate issues like corruption. However, the Chinese government is still controlling the media to a large extent. this is shown "If the government is worried about a specific issue, they crack down on editors, journalist, and web users." (extracted). Four major aspects of censorship in mainland china is its effort to severe all interactions with the outside world, the control of personnel of general directors of media, the control over the processing of articles and the control of web content. the censorship of popular culture is also severely in place. Bands, movies and television are controlled strictly by the Chinese government.

The writer is assuming that the Chinese people do not want any form of censorship in their country. the writer implies that the Chinese government ways of controlling the media is unethical.
