you are talking about information from the government, usually information regarding the actions of the government, or information that it deems vital to national security.
China restricts access to all information: information from the government, information from the citizens, information from other governments, other citizens, universities, private businesses, and even history itself.
The rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness do not exist in China. The right of a free press does not exist. The right to associate or peaceably assemble does not exist. The right to choose your own destiny, your career, to travel where you wish, all are forbidden.
