Well in France it was some citizens who called for boycott, while in China it was organized by the government.

I can't say that I know of the later today. Yesterday absolutely, today it's quite different. There are lots of protests in China today - if it wasn't that I saw it for my own eyes I wouldn't have believed it either - huge banners accusing governmental corruption stretched across the entire wall of a building in plain view. The police on the street don't even flinch.
Murderers rapists all executed.
I actually do have a problem even with that because of governmental protection too often they just grab an average joe off the street so that the prosecutor can report "swift justice" as some kind of validation of job effectiveness and competence. Kinda like the US only to be embarrased later with DNA evidence saying the exact opposite of "eye witnesses".

I have to admit I wasn't being entirely honest. They have free speech but no right to free speech. But as for censorship - you'd be surprised. If you could read Chinese I suggest you go onto any Chinese hosted internet forum, you would be surprised.
Example: ÎÄѧ³Ç www.wenxuecity.com
Yes it seems that there have been big progresses in China recently, but according to many organizations (Amnesty...) it's not enough

as for your forum, I can read some kanjis (国 "country", "man" "south" "north"...) but I don't think I'd even be able to create an account
