What does China censor online?
From Information is BeautifulChris Kuberski, who teaches in Chicago, pointed me to a great graphic of words and web sites blocked by the Great Firewall of China. Red type of the words forms the shape of the country; black type of the banned sites frames the map.
You could offer students a selection of the words and sites and ask them what the powers that be fear. (You might not want to set them loose on the whole list, since some of the sites China blocks are also "blocked" by schools or for children.)
