Well Stephen,

Seems your concerns are unjustified, so rest easy....  Both icann.org 
and icannatlarge.org/com are available to internet users inChina, they 
are not filtered!

See: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/filtering/china/test/

Furthermore, the government of China is no pariah government, it is 
internationally recognized and everyone. So once again, who are you to 
speak for the Chinese?
