Maybe, but there may be an article, [[censorship]]. What goes in that?

All the things you suggest are good and no problem for the government. I have absolutely no problem with writing about all those good things. But the focus of the government is going to be on things like that BBS that got shut down. Should there be no article? A syncopathic article explaining why it was necessary to shut it down from the government viewpoint? Or an article from a Neutral point of view?
No article at all. It is truly insignificant, if you think about it. When there are 350,000 articles in Chinese about Chinese history, politics, culture and religions, then, a small blurb about efforts by the central govt to curb radicalism that impacted a small number of computer users (anything less than 10 million is small in china.) would be called for.
Let's not focus on the twisted twig while standing in a large forest.
