China's Firewall

I've been seeing a lot in the press about the press in Beijing complaining about the 'great firewall' in China. It seems that China relaxed the blocks for some websites, like the BBC's, as a special exception for the games. That seems reasonable. But the press here in the Netherlands is still hammering on the Chinese authorities about other sites they are blocking, like the Falun Gong web site.
I don't see a problem with that. China does not have a free press or freedom of speech. (The freedoms afforded to many western nations is also tainted, you can SAY things that will get you arrested pretty much anywhere. Criticize a specific religion in the USA or publish some Nazi propaganda in France if you think otherwise.) This could not have come as a surprise to anyone involved. To suddenly act offended and self righteous about this fact is, at a minimum, fatuous. China has opened up the firewall to make it possible for reporters covering the Olympics to do their job. I do not believe that they should be expected to do anything more than that.
