Even in free speech -land, censorship is often not just about an excuse for subtle creativity but outright corruption, with the MPAA system is often a mechanism for Hollywood executives to squeeze out smaller independent studios with NC-17 ratings etc. How that relates to what Chinese sites can get away with, I don't know but perhaps there are backroom dealings that decide certain standards...

As a comic nerd, I also would compare the Comics Code Authority of decades-past to this sort of phenomena. Perhaps that's why for so long American comics lagged behind Japanese in adult literary themes, for example, but I still enjoy dissecting how X-Men is an analogy to racism et al.~ China at least deserves its own Jon Stewart, like Egypt, who can then be arrested and the world can see. Pushing the envelope is a delicate art in every culture, one-party states especially so, but its very good to know the Chinese online have it in them!
