It appears that you don't understand what I'm talking about.
First, Wikipedia is an independent website run by the Wikimedia Foundation in the jurisdiction of United States (in the State of California I believe), no matter what the language is.
Second, the Chinese Wikipedia includes participants from all over the world, including U.S. and Singapore. And so far it's unlikely that the single ideological group can obtain great control of Wikipedia without being opposed. In fact, due to the Great Firewall, there are concerns that the Mainland China is underrepresented in some articles.
Third, also, so far the governments haven't arrested users for writing Wikipedia articles.
Your comment is uninformed and unfounded.
> E.g. How quickly before posting about Tiananmen Square Massacre before it gets deleted
Please reread the last paragraphs of my comment.
I specifically used the "Tiananmen Square Massacre" (I called it "1989 Tiananmen Square Protest", in compliance of the Wikipedia's policy of neural point of view), as the success story of how the most controversial history can finally be written in a way that editors across of geographical and political spectrum can agree that it is a good article written according to the standard of Wikipedia.
