China has posters the likes of which we in the west cannot even comprehend "You think Chinese can't get on foreign sites? The fire wall is for your protection. Once it's opened, you will know what cyberbullying really means." 不会以为中国人上不了外网吧？墙是保护你们的，真打开了你们才知道什么叫网暴。

A Chinese commenter sarcastically agrees, saying that once the firewall is opened, people will understand what online violence really means; the punchline is the reversal of censorship as supposed protection.
