At least for the CCC, the main focus is always privacy concerns, politics, freedom, etc. (besides the technical topics). Wikipedia and Wikileaks are often represented there. China is often given as one of the bad examples with respect to freedom, e.g. think about the Great Firewall of China. So I wonder, how does a hacker event fit into this? Wouldn't you be afraid to discuss such topics there? Or do you avoid such topics there, and focus more on just technical topics?

Having been to the "beta" and 1.0, there was some light guidance on discussing territories / GFW, but nothing terrible. I would not try discussing anything about the CCP though (and you might find it hard to find anyone who wants to!) IMO it is a bit of a weird event because many things are imported. Villages almost all come from the USA (and speakers to some extent) and have their travel and lodging completely covered. It is probably a good way to foster local talent, hence why Baidu pays so much $$$ for it.
