Books get much less censorship in China, compared to its Internet. Like, there are new books about culture revolution every year.

However if you brought any book that attacks current government, for example books about the 64 event, you would be in very big trouble.

That is not true. The most famous student leader who testified in front of the US congress 8 times was allowed to go back in China. In fact, she (Chai Lin) even started her business in China.

You seriously believe that she is less influential than a few books? If Chai Lin is allowed to enter and stay in China, what is the point stopping a few books?
