A highly oppressive country has problems with it's youth - who'd have thunk it? ;)

It's disturbing how much the "free world" has in common with the oppressive regime in China.

The US government sanctions murder, the UK government loves to spy on its citizens and the Australians love to ban "adult content" including games.

The only saving grace for us is that we are a signatory of the ECHR and we are members of the Council of Europe and the European Union, all of which regularly kick HMG into line.

As for the Australians, I thought this was an interesting take on the lack of an 18+ category for games:
